Hi,

        I am using org-mode 4.44, and I wish it would work with
delete-selection-mode.

There are two ways to handle this.

1) Either you stop org-mode from taking over all the commands inserting
    letters and deleting single characters.  This means not using the
    optimized version of the table editor:

      (setq org-enable-table-editor t)

    The disadvantage is that in tables, each letter typed now dis-aligns
    the table and you need to wait for the next align (triggered by TAB,
    for example) for things to look nice again.

2) Or you make delete-selection-mode aware of org-mode's special 
commands:

      (eval-after-load "delsel"
        '(progn		
           (put 'org-self-insert-command 'delete-selection t)
           (put 'orgtbl-self-insert-command 'delete-selection t)
           (put 'org-delete-char 'delete-selection 'supersede)
           (put 'org-delete-backward-char 'delete-selection 'supersede)))

Hope this helps.
