;;; 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 pending-delete-mode t
  "*Non-nil means Pending Delete mode is enabled.
In Pending Delete 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 pending-delete-pre-hook ()
  (if (and pending-delete-mode
	   (not buffer-read-only)
	   transient-mark-mode mark-active)
      (let ((type (and (symbolp this-command)
		       (get this-command 'pending-delete))))
	(cond ((eq type 'kill)
	       (delete-active-region t))
	      ((eq type 'supersede)
	       (if (delete-active-region ())
		   (setq this-command '(lambda () (interactive)))))

;; It has actually nothing to do with pending-delete but its more necessary
;; with pending delete because pending delete users use the selection more.
