However, i have delete-selection-mode on, meaning that when a region is active, any typing should delete/override it. But when calling my insert text commands it will just insert at the end of region. Here's a example: (defun insert-date () "Insert current date." (interactive) (insert (format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d")) ) Do i need to modify each commands to check on mark-active and delete- selection-mode then call delete region first? Or, is there some variable i can just set? Thanks. Xah =E2=88=91 http://xahlee.org/ =E2=98=84
