<PRE>Preparing to change distros - go to Mageia - I am reviewing some of my
"laziness based habits" and try to migrate from xemacs to emacs. No
fundamental problem, but I hit a weird aspect:
When, in emacs, I select a region of text and than type a character, I
expect (and have the habit) that the newly typed character would replace
the entire selected region: no, when the character is typed, emacs
de-selects the region and inserts the character (i.e. appends it) after
the region.
Is this a known and accepted particular aspect of emacs (practically all
other text editors I know replace a selected the region when new text is
typed)? is there a standard way in emacs to configure emacs to "behave"
as expected? if not, are there established key bindings which allow to
make emacs behave like other editors?
