Inconsiderately overloading basic user functions not that much.

I just had to disable transient-mode because highlighting almost the whole buffer during isearch as well as extending (and highlighting) the region without pressing SHIFT is not my cup of tea. Highlighting during isearch? It's not what Emacs does for me, and I have transient-mark-mode on all the time. > Cheers, Best, -- Marcin Borkowski http://octd.wmi.amu.edu.pl/en/Marcin_Borkowski Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University
