I already know that you don't like transient-mark-mode. So the only
option for you is to disable transient-mark-mode completely.
What I meant is that when the region is active in transient-mark-mode
typing a character that doesn't delete the region is not only useless
but also looks like a bug to users of any program other than Emacs.
