I use temporary transient mark mode for mark commands
(progn
'#1=((after transient-mark activate)
"Activate Transient Mark mode temporarily."
(setq transient-mark-mode 'only))
(defadvice mark-sexp . #1#)
(defadvice mark-word . #1#)
(defadvice mark-paragraph . #1#)
(defadvice mark-defun . #1#)
(defadvice mark-end-of-sentence . #1#)
(defadvice mark-page . #1#)
(defadvice mark-whole-buffer . #1#)
(defadvice LaTeX-mark-environment . #1#)
(defadvice LaTeX-mark-section . #1#))
The mark commands set the mark at a place away from point, and
highlighting shows more clearly what's going on. Especially in Emacs 22,
where repeating a mark command extends the region.
