But with an *active* (colored) region, ispell-word (not ispell-region) spell-checks the whole region, not only the word at point. With that feature, you only need to remember one keybinding/command, and emacs does what you want. > One thing I do miss with (transient-mark-mode -1) set is the coloring > when selecting a region with the mouse. Hm, here it does colorize it. Did you forget to delete your customization on the region face (in case you did that)? > Was there a time when setting mark and scrolling did NOT colorize the > region but selection with mouse did? Yes, emacs 22 did so. And emacs 23 should do so with transient-mark-mode off. > Or more cogently... is there a way to do that now.

Yep, as I said. > I also seem to recall a time when the colorizing of a region could be > invoked with a double mark set before scrolling, but was not on by > default... Is that still a possibility Well, now I'm pretty sure that you removed the background color from the region face. ;-) Bye, Tassilo
