It should come from delete-selectio= n-mode.


I was first thinking that maybe he had got= ten into overwrite-mode.

Now, I'd never hea= r do delete-selection-mode, so I did a C-h f on it:
<= br>|  delete-selection-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp fun= ction in `delsel'.
|  (delete-selection-mode &optio= nal arg)
|  
|  Toggle Delete Sele= ction mode.
|  With prefix arg, turn Delete Selection m= ode on if and only if arg is
|  positive.
|  
|  When Delete Selection mode is enabled, T= ransient Mark mode is also
|  enabled and typed text re= places the selection if the selection is
|  active. &nb= sp;Otherwise, typed text is just inserted at point regardless of

Question: what are some of the uses of this mode?  Maybe name 2 or 3 u= ses,
so I can understand if it's something I should get fami= liar with.

THANKS!
