It's taken my a couple of months of running into this flaw to finally stop and figure out what's wrong. I use either pending-delete-mode or delete-selection-mode, depending on Emacs flavor, such that the selected region gets deleted or replaced by a subsequent kill or yank command. There's a strange interaction with yanking in org-mode, though, where the yanked text gets inserted /before/ the delimited region (assuming the point is before the mark) and the delimited text just gets pushed out past the yanked text, as opposed to being /replaced/ by it.
Reading the header for delsel.el, I found documentation that requires functions that delete, kill, or yank to exhibit a property (`delete-selection') in order to work correctly with delete-selection-mode. I found the following did the trick to get org-yank to behave as expected: ,---- | (put 'org-yank 'delete-selection 'yank) `---- It's not clear where such a definition belongs; delete-selection-mode doesn't know about org-mode, and org-mode may not known about delete-selection-mode. Should this fall to user-level customization? -- Steven E. Harris _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
