Hi all,

The screenshot: http://postimage.org/image/4tiu27lyb/

On EMacs 24 (Fedora 17 package) I selected this and then typed fast 
something on my keyboard then got this yellow background on the selcted 
text.
I dont remember what was the key combination.
I typed something near to Alt-TAB on a french keyboard (I just remember 
I wanted to switch window, but I probably typed something else).
What is this?
It would be usefull for me, but I dont know how to do it again, nor how 
to un-background.
Would you help? :-)

Possibly highlight-phrase or one of it's variants? Check under the "M-s
h" keymap -- was it something in there?

The face looks like "match" or "secondary selection".
