  15. I am used to using these functions to position on the display...
  16.  
  17. (global-set-key "\M-'" 'move-to-window-line)
  18. (global-set-key "\M-," '(lambda() (interactive) (move-to-window-line 0)))
  19. (global-set-key "\M-." '(lambda() (interactive) (move-to-window-line -1)))
  20.  
  21. A normal editing sequence for me is to mark something (\C-spc), move there
  22. (possibly using the move-to-window-line keys above) and then e.g, kill it.
  23.  
  24. I can't do that in Lucid-19.2 -- it appears the mark gets cleared.
  25. Any reason why? Anyone have a plausible fix?
