Could we > consider renaming it (by aliasing and perhaps deprecating the old name)? This variable exists since Emacs 19. Renaming it after all that time would make no sense at all. > 1. This var has no effect if `transient-mark-mode' is disabled. That is inaccurate: it has no effect if the region is inactive (you can have an active region even with transient-mark-mode disabled). I added the caveat to the doc string. > 2. This is not really about highlighting windows. (Yes, the > highlighting occurs in windows, of course. But it's the active region > that's highlighted.) The doc string says that. > 3. The name says nothing about what's most important: "region". This is > about showing (highlighting) the _active region_ in _all_ windows. See above: that ship sailed long ago. > 4. The doc should explain the alternative behavior, when the var is nil: > the active region is highlighted only in the selected window. Added. And with that, I'm closing this bug.
