Sometimes while typing on my laptop I accidentally brush against the
touchpad and inadvertantly mess up something. Today, while not even
emacs, this happened, affecting what happened in an emacs frame which
previously didn't even have the focus.
What I ended up in that emacs frame was that a random section of text
was set to background yellow. Investigating further, I found that
text
with the yellow background was a secondary-selection. But I couldn't
find anything in the Help screens describing anything about it, except
its properties. So here are my questions:
What is/are the purpose(s) of a secondary-selection?
What can be done with a secondary-selection...? and how to do them?
How do I undo this secondary-selection... i.e., make the selection go
away without changing the file/buffer in any way?
Thanks much.
Note: I sent this same email to the group on Tuesday, but it never
showed. Has the server been down?
