The problem is that the cursor is always positioned before the text, which I just pasted in. When you use the yank-function the cursor is always placed after the text, which was just pasted in. How do I get the cursor after the text, which was just pasted in automatically. Here is how the paste-function is implemented: (global-unset-key [(control v)]) (global-set-key [(control v)] 'paste-and-show) ; PASTE-KEY. (defun paste-and-show () (interactive) "Paste from register a" (progn (message "Region from register a pasted in") (if (eq mark-active (not nil)) ; if-part (progn ; then-part (message "The mark was active") (transient-mark-mode 1) (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end)) (transient-mark-mode 0) ) ) (insert-register ?a) (setq mark-active nil) ))
