Proplem with pc-selection-mode and S-insert

Proplem with pc-selection-mode and S-insert

[Anders Baumann]

I have a problem with "pc-selection-mode" in Emacs. 
I cannot seem to make S-insert work properly. When I press S-insert and I 
have marked a region, the text in the kill ring should overwrite/replace 
the marked region, but it does not. Instead the text in the kill ring is 
inserted next to the text in the region. If I want to overwrite the region 
I have to use M-y. 

"Delete-selection-mode" is turned on. If I mark a region and starts 
writing, the marked region will be overwritten. 

I hope there is an Emacs expert that has an explanation to this 
annoying little problem. 

Thanks, 

Anders Baumann

For all this stuff i recommend cua-mode which comes with cua.el which you can
find in the web!

or cua-lite, and alternative to both pc-selection and cua.  It can be
found at:

   http://www.northbound-train.com/emacs.html

CUA emulator package for Emacs. There are three things that make this
package different from the others already out there:

1. it is a quasi-minor mode, meaning that it can be turned on & off
   easily (though only globally; hence the "quasi-")
2. it is easily extensible
3. it does NOT attempt to override the existing use of <Ctrl><X> and
   <Ctrl><C> (use CUA-mode for that)
