Why did you expect `delete-selection-mode' to kill rather than delete?
I asked on stack exchange for how to change the behaviour and someone suggested it was a bug. I figured delete-selection-mode was less of a mouthful than maybe-delete-or-kill-selection-mode ;)
The critical code lines were was also ambiguous and beyond my powers of comprehension:
(put 'self-insert-command 'delete-selection
(lambda ()
(not (run-hook-with-args-until-success
'self-insert-uses-region-functions))))
Thanks for confirming the default behaviour. On changing to kill rather than delete with:
(put 'self-insert-command 'delete-selection 'kill)
I get no self-inserted key, and an extra blank item in the kill ring.
Regardless, why don't we call this a hack and not a bug.
