;;; 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:

  "*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)

    (delete-region (point) (mark)))
