Re: Transient Mark Mode on by default

[Richard Stallman]

    I assumed that users will be able to easily turn this feature off, so that 
Shift
    will then not automatically act on cursor-moving commands to extend the 
region.
    Is that not the case?

None of this is the case now, since it is just a proposal, but that
suggestion seems like a good one.

    If it is the case, then how does that fit with Help explaining, for each 
such
    command, that Shift extends the region? 

Whatever option enables and disables that feature could be checked
by the help commands too.
