If you enable cua-mode via the Options menu, notice that the menu item for transient mark mode becomes inactive, ie. the user cannot easily change the setting of transient-mark-mode while cua-mode is enabled... BTW, cua-mode selectively enables and disables t-m-m depending on its state, e.g. if you mark a rectangle, t-m-m is disabled, since cua does its own rectangle highlighting. > > Is the suggestion that cua-mode would only disable t-m-m, never > reenable it? I guess that is safe enough. I think it is safer to restore the value of t-m-m that was active before cua-mode was enabled. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
