OK, point taken. I hardly ever use the mark as a jumping point.

Thanks. But I had to turn on transient mark mode for it to work.
Intended behavior I guess?
Yes. Everybody should turn it on. Why would you not?
Why ā€˛should" everyone use transient mark mode? Not everyone has to like that setting, and some may prefer to work without it.
I myself find it confusing because when I set the mark, I want just to mark that point for later use (to jump quickly there, for instance). transient-mark-mode assumes that I always want to *start a region*, which is not true.
I also like to select text without highlighting; it is less distracting and more readable.
I wish you a (transient-mark-mode -1) and a happy new year :-)
When I need to remember a position, most of the time I split the
window, go to where I want momentarily in the new window, and
then close that window again.
I thought that transient-mark-mode was the only way to make use
of commands that automatically use the region if one is active.
But because of your mail, I went back to the Emacs manual and
learned about the Momentary Mark, which is
transient-transient-mark-mode, sort of. Pretty nice, this is
a viable alternative to turning on transient-mark-mode, so viable
that I am now considering turning off transient-mark-mode :-)
OK, rephrase:
To use region-sensitive commands, everybody should either
turn on transient-mark-mode, or learn about the momentary mark.
May your transition into the next year be highlighted.
