Re: rectangle mode selection

Yeah, cua-selection-mode.  C-enter to start rectangle selection.  It works very well, but I eventually moved off these training wheels and just used Emacs' built-in rectangle features.

Talking with a friend we got to this conclusion, emacs has very cool rectangle commands, but they're hard to "see".

I mean in other editors you can really select a rectangle and then work with it, with emacs you have to compute it yourself.

It would be great if at least when I select some text, the area that represents the rectangle has a slightly different color
than the rest of the selected text.

Would that be somehow possible?
