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. --=20 In Christ, Timmy V. http://burningones.com/ http://five.sentenc.es/ - Spend less time on e-mail
