Subject: What is the difference between (deactivate-mark) and (setq deactivate-mark t)?
Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2021 05:42:09 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pmzc825q.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)

Well, I understand what each of them does, but whay was the variable
introduced and why would I want to  say `(setq deactivate-mark t)' in
a command instead of just calling `(deactivate-mark)'?  I can't think of
any possible reasons.  Any ideas?

TIA,
