calc: Displaying Selections
11.1.3 Displaying Selections
----------------------------
The ‘j d’ (‘calc-show-selections’) command controls how selected
sub-formulas are displayed. One of the alternatives is illustrated in
the above examples; if we press ‘j d’ we switch to the other style in
which the selected portion itself is obscured by ‘#’ signs:
3 ... # ___
(a + b) . . . ## # ## + V c
1* ............... 1* ---------------
. . . . 2 x + 1
If the customizable variable ‘calc-highlight-selections-with-faces’
is non-‘nil’, then the non-selected portion of the formula will be
de-emphasized by using a less noticeable face (‘calc-nonselected-face’)
instead of dots and the selected sub-formula will be highlighted by
using a more noticeable face (‘calc-selected-face’) instead of ‘#’
signs. (Customizing Calc.)
