I'm not sure to understand. But maybe C-SPC C-SPC might help: it
activates `transient-mark-mode' temporarily.
,----[ set-mark-command ]
| C-SPC runs the command set-mark-command
| which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple.el'.
| It is bound to C-@, C-SPC.
| (set-mark-command arg)
|
| Set the mark where point is, or jump to the mark.
| Setting the mark also alters the region, which is the text
| between point and mark; this is the closest equivalent in
| Emacs to what some editors call the "selection".
|
| With no prefix argument, set the mark at point, and push the
| old mark position on local mark ring. Also push the old mark on
| global mark ring, if the previous mark was set in another buffer.
|
| Immediately repeating this command activates `transient-mark-mode'
temporarily.
