Here are steps I would take to try to trouble-shoot in Emacs.


emacs -Q
<C-h>fdelete-selection-mode
<C-x>o<tab><enter>


Reading commentary at beginning of source ...

This seems promising:

;; Commands which will delete the selection need a 'delete-selection
;; property on their symbols; commands which insert text but don't
;; have this property won't delete the selection.

google "emacs how to set property on command"

Find out

put is a built-in function in `C source code'.

(put SYMBOL PROPNAME VALUE)

Store SYMBOL's PROPNAME property with value VALUE.
It can be retrieved with `(get SYMBOL PROPNAME)'.


Fire up viper mode (I don't use it).

<C-h>k[paste key cord]


Jot down what the command name.  Try something like:

(put '[viper-paste-func]  'delete-selection t)


<C-x><C-e>


See if it worked.  If it did, add the "(put ..." line to your .emacs.el
