+  Many graphical applications follow the convention that insertion while text
+is selected deletes the selected text.  You can make Emacs behave this
+way by enabling Delete Selection mode---with @kbd{M-x
+delete-selection-mode} or using Custom.  Another effect of this mode
+is that @key{DEL}, @kbd{C-d} and some other keys, when a selection
+exists, will kill the whole selection.  It also enables Transient Mark
+mode (@pxref{Transient Mark}).
