Variable: reftex-highlight-selection

reftex-highlight-selection is a customizable variable defined in reftex-vars.el.gz.

Value

cursor

Documentation

Non-nil mean, highlight selected text in selection and *toc* buffers.

Normally, the text near the cursor is the selected text, and it is highlighted. This is the entry most keys in the selection and *toc* buffers act on. However, if you mainly use the mouse to select an item, you may find it nice to have mouse-triggered highlighting instead or as well. The variable may have one of these values:

   nil No highlighting.
   cursor Highlighting is cursor driven.
   mouse Highlighting is mouse driven.
   both Both cursor and mouse trigger highlighting.

Changing this variable requires rebuilding the selection and *toc* buffers to become effective (keys \g or \r).

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 20.3.
