Subject: how and why does keyboard input unhighlight the mouse-selected region?
Date: Thu, 04 Sep 2003 09:50:53 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3F575F5D.3040600@yahoo.com> (raw)
If I select the region with the mouse (with transient mark mode
disabled), it is highlighted using the `region' face. I think that is
implemented via `mouse-drag-overlay' in lisp/mouse.el. Then any
subsequent keyboard input -- even typing a prefix key like `C-x' --
causes it to be unhighlighted; `C-h v' shows
| mouse-drag-overlay's value is
| #<overlay in no buffer>
I don't see any references to mouse-drag-overlay in the src/*.c files,
or anywhere outside of lisp/mouse.el and lisp/mouse-sel.el for that
matter. So how is the unhighlighting of the selected region
implemented? And why is that the default behavior -- no command has
been executed, certainly not any command that modifies the buffer or
alters the region. Finally, can the unhighlighting be disabled?
