You =E2=94=82 can also type `S-' or `S-' to indent leftward= or =E2=94=82 rightward to the next tab stop (*note Tab Stops::). Typin= g any =E2=94=82 other key disables the transient mode, and resumes normal = editing. =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 If I type a letter, it replaces the region. That must come from my setting: =E2=94=8C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 =E2=94=82 (delete-selection-mode 1) ; Overwrite region. =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 Then, how do we escape in such a case? - C-g does not seem right -- even if it works. - M-w is what I do, but that has a side effect... Any other adviced way? Should the above be mentioned in the doc? In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570 Best regards, Seb --=20 Sebastien Vauban
