In the following 3 text lines : ------------ foo foobar bar ----------- It is problematic to cut the whole 3 lines as a rectangle, with selection active. Precisely, one needs to insert 3 spaces after 'bar', then mark region, then cut as rectangle. mark-even-when-inactive allows to mark from foo to bar, then enter spaces (at this point, region is not highlighted anymore), then C-x r k, but selection will not be highlighted. I just wanted to mention that, although I have nothing yet to propose. Paul
