   By default, text insertion occurs normally even if the mark is
 active---for example, typing @kbd{a} inserts the character @samp{a},

-minor mode, then inserting text while the mark is active causes the
-text in the region to be deleted first.  Also, commands that normally
-delete just one character, such as @kbd{C-d} or @kbd{@key{DEL}}, will
-delete the entire region instead.  To toggle Delete Selection
