With transient-mark-mode, you can do
C-SPC ...move... M-;
With the code I sent, people who don't have transient-mark-mode turned on
can still use the comment-region behavior of M-; by doing:
M-x mark-and-highlight RET ...move... M-;
or
C-SPC ...move... M-x activate-and-highlight-region RET M-;
This could also be used with other functions who operate on the
region only when transient-mark-mode is turned ON.
Both mark-and-highlight and activate-and-highlight-region are useful and
they should both be provided. The question is mostly where to bind those
two commands. I wish mark-and-highlight could be bound to something
similar to C-u SPC and I think that activate-and-highlight-region could
be bound to C-u C-x C-x.
