- ;;; Commentary:
-
- ;; Having loaded this code you can set the region by holding down the
- ;; shift key and move the cursor to the other end of the region. The
- ;; functionallity provided by this code is similar to that provided by
- ;; the editors of Borland International's compilers for ms-dos.
-
- ;; Currently, s-region-move may be bound only to events that are vectors
- ;; of length one and whose last element is a symbol. Also, the functions
- ;; that are given this kind of overlay should be (interactive "p")
- ;; functions.
-
- ;; C-insert is bound to copy-region-as-kill
- ;; S-delete is bound to kill-region
- ;; S-insert is bound to yank
