I did M-x apropos selection M-x customize-apropos " ditto " C-h -i m emacs i select (and walked thru them) I didn't find out how to turn off the blue color that appears when mark is set, and I scroll. Indicating a selected region. The one that requires two spc bar hits to turn off. I liked the old way... with no color and find myself very often accidentally coloring a region... It is nice when I *intend* to select a region but too often I accidentally select.... no doubt some kind of poor typing habit causing it but it means this happens very often for me. I don't remember having trouble knowing what I selected... when intentionally selecting a region before we had that highlight, so I think I want it off. Can anyone provide a better searching clue?
