Hi,
when I'm marking text with the mouse in GNU emacs, it'll be
highlighted, but when I'm doing it via the keyboard (C-space) it won't.
How do I enable the mark highlighting for keyboard text selection?
regards
Matthias Knelangen

add
(transient-mark-mode 1)
to your ~/.emacs. But better C-h f transient-mark-mode RET
first. This will break some useful stuff.
If you use the developer version of emacs you can enable
transient-mark-mode temporally by hitting C-SPC twice.

It might have to do with transient-mark-mode. Check it and set it to t.

Transient mark mode: M-x transient-mark-mode
You might also want to look at Delete Selection mode, which uses transient
mark mode: M-x delete-selection-mode

Which? Undo, could be. I see mostly an advantage when I can restrict
changes or actions to an area I have marked before ...

Easyly done with C-SPC C-SPC (at least in the devel
version). I use C-x C-x a lot and would miss it. But thats
probably only just my editing habits.
