not really a separate command; you are using the @kbd{C-@key{SPC}}
command twice.)

Activate the mark without changing it, enable Transient Mark mode just
once until the mark is deactivated.  (This is the @kbd{C-x C-x} command,
@code{exchange-point-and-mark}, with a prefix argument.)
@end table

  One of the secondary features of Transient Mark mode is that certain
commands operate on the region when there is an active region.  If you
don't use Transient Mark mode, the region once set never becomes
inactive, so there is no way these commands to make such a
distinction.  Enabling Transient Mark mode momentarily gives you a way
to use these commands on the region.

  The other way momentarily use of Transient Mark mode is useful
is that it highlights the region for the time being.

  One of the secondary features of Transient Mark mode is that certain
commands operate only on the region, when there is an active region.
If you don't use Transient Mark mode, the region once set never
becomes inactive, so there is no way for these commands to make such a
distinction.  Enabling Transient Mark mode momentarily gives you a way
to use these commands on the region.

  Momentary use of Transient Mark mode is also a way to highlight the
region for the time being.
