* keyboard.c (read_key_sequence): Don't confuse mock input with function-key-map expansion, and continue reading mock events when the current sequence is unbound. * keyboard.c (read_key_sequence): After providing a prefix symbol for a mouse event, modify the mouse event to indicate that that won't need to be done again, by putting the event's position symbol in a list. * keyboard.c (read_key_sequence): When returning mock input which has run off the end of the current maps, make sure the events get echoed, and make it into this-command-keys. * keyboard.c (read_key_sequence): When re-reading a previously read mouse click which requires a prefix symbol, make sure to set last_real_key_start appropriately, so we can properly drop button-down events.

;;; Commentary:

;;; This file makes the active region be pending delete, meaning that
;;; text inserted while the region is active will replace the region contents.
;;; This is a popular behavior of personal computers text editors.

;;; Code:

(defvar delete-selection-mode t
  "*Non-nil means Delete Selection mode is enabled.
In Delete Selection mode, when a region is highlighted,
insertion commands first delete the region and then insert.")

(defun delete-active-region (&optional killp)
  (if killp
      (kill-region (point) (mark))
    (delete-region (point) (mark)))
  (setq mark-active nil)
  (run-hooks 'deactivate-mark-hook)
  t)

(defun delete-selection-pre-hook ()
  (if (and delete-selection-mode
	   (not buffer-read-only)
	   transient-mark-mode mark-active)
      (let ((type (and (symbolp this-command)
		       (get this-command 'delete-selection))))
	(cond ((eq type 'kill)
	       (delete-active-region t))
	      ((eq type 'supersede)
	       (if (delete-active-region nil)
		   (setq this-command '(lambda () (interactive)))))
	      (type
	       (delete-active-region nil))))))
