26 ;;; Commentary:
28 ;; This file makes the active region be pending delete, meaning that
29 ;; text inserted while the region is active will replace the region contents.
30 ;; This is a popular behavior of personal computers text editors.
32 ;; Interface:
34 ;; Commands which will delete the selection need a 'delete-selection
35 ;; property on their symbols; commands which insert text but don't
36 ;; have this property won't delete the selection. It can be one of
37 ;; the values:
38 ;; `yank'
39 ;; For commands which do a yank; ensures the region about to be
40 ;; deleted isn't yanked.
41 ;; `supersede'
42 ;; Delete the active region and ignore the current command,
43 ;; i.e. the command will just delete the region.
44 ;; t
45 ;; The normal case: delete the active region prior to executing
46 ;; the command which will insert replacement text.
47 ;; <function>
48 ;; For commands which need to dynamically determine this behavior.
49 ;; The function should return one of the above values or nil.
