Delete should leave the selection mode

Open vdegenne opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

In original Emacs, if you are in selection mode and you select some text and you press RETURN to delete the selected text, the selection mode will turn off. It doesn't work with this plugin and this is so confusing for real Emacs users. I always delete the selected text but then I will eventually forget that the selection mode is still active and only realize when I move my cursor again. This is kind of disturbing. Also I think ALT+RETURN have to delete the previous word.

I am also struggling with this. How can you turn off selection mode for the time being?

@fv42wid <ctrl><space> will enter the selection mode. <ctrl><space> will leave it. <return> while in selection mode should also leave the selection mode you know. It doesn't work for this plugin.
