Hi,
Could someone tell me how to get the effect of an "activated mark" in
transient mark mode from within elisp? In other words, I'd like to be
able to set up the point and mark, and when my elisp completes, see
the region highlighted. Seems like it should be simple, but nothing I
do seems to work.
You might be asking how transient mark mode works.
I don't think that's what I'm asking.
It seems to be just a variable that commands look at. But this
works for me:
(defun dog-test ()
(interactive)
(transient-mark-mode 1)
(set-mark (point))
(forward-char 20))
execute dog-test from the minibuffer and the current point plus 20
characters are highlighted
Not for me. :(
Thanks for responding.
