Am I understanding correctly that what you're trying to accomplish is
to not have the current region highlighted when you C-x C-x?
If that's the case, why not just `M-x customize-variable
transient-mark-mode`? I didn't like the highlighting of the region so
I prefer turning tranient mark mode on manually (`C-SPC C-SPC`) if I
want it (almost never) rather than having it on all the time.
Another option that would avoid transient-mark-mode would be to use
pop-global-mark with `C-u C-SPC` instead of `C-x C-x` which doesn't
leave the mark active, if your only goal is to return to a previous
location and forget about the current location.
