I have not followed this discussion, so I am not sure I understand the
above correctly. I hope that it does _not_ mean that you are
suggesting eliminating mark-even-if-inactive completely.
Setting mark-even-if-inactive to t by default was a decision made to
make transient-mark-mode less annoying to people who do not use it,
are not going to use it ever and have no idea whatsoever about why
and how people use it. I hope that not to many other changes have
been made to t-m-m for that same purpose in this seemingly endless
discussion.
I have used t-m-m ever since I used Emacs and if I use commands like
C-w and friends without having a region highlighted, so without being
able to verify what is going to be deleted, there is 100% certainty
that I typed C-w inadvertently, so the nice thing to do is to give me
an error message rather than to make me pay for my mistyping.
So it is bad enough that mark-even-if-inactive was made t by default
(a decision I am not going to fight, because I do not have the time
to enter in some endless discussion), it should _certainly_ not be
_eliminated_.
Sincerely,
Luc.
