;;; 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)

	       ;; that we are going to delete.
	       ;; That would make yank a no-op.
