Subject: delete-char deletes marked text sometimes and sometimes not
Date: Tue, 30 Aug 2005 14:59:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <uvf1nvav0.fsf@gmail.com> (raw)
Try this in CVS Emacs:
$ emacs-22-xyz -q
Type some text and mark it by temporarily activating
transient-mark-mode (C-SPC C-SPC). Press C-d (delete-char). This does
nothing to the text, which was expected (at least for a long-time
Emacs-user... :)
Now type some more text and this time mark the text using the
mouse. Now press C-d again. Voila! Text deleted!
What is this magic? Some "stuff" in the text properties, or what?
