It should come from delete-selection-mode.
I was first thinking that maybe he had gotten into overwrite-mode.Now, I'd never hear do delete-selection-mode, so I did a C-h f on it:| delete-selection-mode is an interactive autoloaded Lisp function in `delsel'.| (delete-selection-mode &optional arg)| | Toggle Delete Selection mode.| With prefix arg, turn Delete Selection mode on if and only if arg is| positive.| | When Delete Selection mode is enabled, Transient Mark mode is also| enabled and typed text replaces the selection if the selection is| active. Otherwise, typed text is just inserted at point regardless of| any selection.Question: what are some of the uses of this mode? Maybe name 2 or 3 uses,so I can understand if it's something I should get familiar with.THANKS!David
