[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
If I highlight something and then run kill-region (C-w), it

gets killed. That's good.


But if I highlight nothing, and accidentally run kill-region, the

rest of the document starting at the cursor gets killed.


I know it sounds stupid, but more than once I have killed a lot of text

like that and not realized it until much later, thanks to Git.


Emacs is wonderful, thank you so much.
