Cursor at end of region pasted in

Cursor at end of region pasted in

[Lars Gustafsson]

Hi!
How do I get the cursor to place itself at the end of the region,
which has just been pasted in? Right now it places itself at the
beginning of the region, which has just been pasted in. This is my
function:

(global-unset-key [(control v)])
(global-set-key [(control v)]   'paste-and-show)         ; PASTE-KEY.
(defun paste-and-show () (interactive) "Paste from register a"
   (progn
    (message "Region from register a pasted in")
    (if (eq mark-active (not nil)) ; if-part
	(progn                     ; then-part
	  (message "Markeringen var aktiv")
	  (transient-mark-mode 1)
	  (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
	  ;(transient-mark-mode 0)
	  )
      ) 
    (insert-register ?a)
    (setq mark-active nil)
))

Thanks in advance, Lars

(global-set-key [(control v)]   'paste-and-show)         ; PASTE-KEY.

(defun paste-and-show () (interactive) "Paste from register a"
  (message "Region from register a pasted in")
    (when mark-active
      (progn
        (message "Markeringen var aktiv")
        (transient-mark-mode 1)
        (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end))))
  (goto-char (1+ (point)))
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (1- (point)))
    (insert-register ?a))
  (goto-char (1- (point)))
  (setq mark-active nil))

forward-char also signals errors on out of range inputs, which
goto-char doesn't.  Hence workarounds like this:

(defsubst imap-forward ()
  (or (eobp) (forward-char)))

Rather a nitpicker than picknickers.  :-)
