(global-set-key [(control v)]   'paste-and-show)         ; PASTE-KEY.

(defun paste-and-show () (interactive) "Paste from register a"
  (message "Region from register a pasted in")
    (when mark-active
      (progn
        (message "Markeringen var aktiv")
        (transient-mark-mode 1)
        (kill-region (region-beginning) (region-end))))
  (goto-char (1+ (point)))
  (save-excursion
    (goto-char (1- (point)))
    (insert-register ?a))
  (goto-char (1- (point)))
  (setq mark-active nil))
