Re: Please, Restore Previous Behavior for jump-to-register

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

   The old behavior is to not ask for confirmation when overwriting a
   register, and some people - including me - would like to have a simple
   way to make `C-x r SPC' (`point-to-register') behave in the old way...
   Is there a way to do that by just setting variables?
   If not, can you implement a way to do that?

More importantly, the documentation for how registers behave is out of
sync with this new behaviour.  The old behaviour should really be made
default until.


  ‘C-x r <SPC> R’
       Record the position of point and the current buffer in register R
       (‘point-to-register’).
  ‘C-x r j R’
       Jump to the position and buffer saved in register R
       (‘jump-to-register’).
  
     Typing ‘C-x r <SPC>’ (‘point-to-register’), followed by a character
  ‘R’, saves both the position of point and the current buffer in register
  R.  The register retains this information until you store something else
  in it.
