Hello,
When using C-x TAB, I can't escape from the transient mode as described
in the help:
┌────
│ `C-x <TAB>'
│ This command is used to change the indentation of all lines that
│ begin in the region, moving the affected lines as a "rigid" unit.
│
│ If called with no argument, the command activates a transient mode
│ for adjusting the indentation of the affected lines interactively.
│ While this transient mode is active, typing <LEFT> or <RIGHT>
│ indents leftward and rightward, respectively, by one space. You
│ can also type `S-<LEFT>' or `S-<RIGHT>' to indent leftward or
│ rightward to the next tab stop (*note Tab Stops::). Typing any
│ other key disables the transient mode, and resumes normal editing.
└────
If I type a letter, it replaces the region.
That must come from my setting:
┌────
│ (delete-selection-mode 1) ; Overwrite region.
└────
Then, how do we escape in such a case?
- C-g does not seem right -- even if it works.
- M-w is what I do, but that has a side effect...
Any other adviced way?
Should the above be mentioned in the doc?
In GNU Emacs 24.5.1 (i686-pc-mingw32) of 2015-04-11 on LEG570
Best regards,
Seb
