I was first thinking that maybe he had gotten into overwrite-mode.
Now, I'd never hear do delete-selection-mode, so I did a C-h f on it:
| delete-selection-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `delsel'.
| (delete-selection-mode &optional arg)
|
| Toggle Delete Selection mode.
| With prefix arg, turn Delete Selection mode on if and only if arg is
| positive.
|
| When Delete Selection mode is enabled, Transient Mark mode is also
| enabled and typed text replaces the selection if the selection is
| active. Otherwise, typed text is just inserted at point regardless of
| any selection.
Question: what are some of the uses of this mode? Maybe name 2 or 3 uses,
so I can understand if it's something I should get familiar with.
THANKS!
David
