In earlier versions of emacs (<23, I believe), when a region ( e.g., 'some text') was selected in AucTeX, and C-e was entered to include the text an environment, the following was obtained:

\begin{center}
some text
\end{center}

However, in Emacs 24, it is not possible to use C-e if a region has been selected. Rather, I have to unselect the region and then type C-e. If the point is on the text, the environment is inserted after the text with C-e:

some text
\begin{center}

\end{center}

and the cursor is within the environment.

Is it possible to get the old behaviour back?

    The feature you describe works also with Emacs 24, so probably you have some settings in your init file preventing this from working.

  • Thank you. I found the culprit: '(cua-mode t nil (cua-base))

The selected text does not seem to be included if cua-mode is turned on, so it needs to be turned off:

(cua-mode 0)
