Re: Transient Mark Mode on by default

[paul r]

I see a problematic use-case with transient-mark-mode and rectangles.
In the following 3 text lines :
------------
foo
foobar
bar
-----------

It is problematic to cut the whole 3 lines as a rectangle, with
selection active. Precisely, one needs to insert 3 spaces after 'bar',
then mark region, then cut as rectangle.
mark-even-when-inactive allows to mark from foo to bar, then enter
spaces (at this point, region is not highlighted anymore), then C-x r
k, but selection will not be highlighted.
I just wanted to mention that, although I have nothing yet to propose.
