Re: CUA mode cursor color

[Miles Bader]

A few more comments about CUA mode:

  1. Using `M-x cua-mode' doesn't print a message in the mode-line,
     whereas using the menu option does.  Why not always print a message
     (many other mode toggles do, and they probably all should), and make
     the menu option and `M-x cua-mode' exactly the same?

  2. If you have transient-mark-mode enabled, turning on cua-mode and
     then turning it off again leaves transient-mark-mode disabled; it
     would be much better to leave it in whatever state it was in
     originally.  I'm not sure the best way to implement this.

  3. In the NEWS file, it says:

         With cua, the region can be set and extended using shifted
         movement keys (like pc-selection-mode) and typed text replaces
         the active region (like delete-selection-mode).  Do not enable
         these modes with cua-mode.

     It would be nice if `pc-selection-mode' and `delete-selection-mode'
     simply used the same code that cua-mode does, so that they are more
     compatible (after all, it's not unlikely that a potential user of
     CUA mode already has one or both of them enabled, and might not see
     the warning in NEWS).
