mouse button, and sets the mark at the other end of that range. Or you
can click mouse button three, which sets the mark at point (like
@kbd{C-@key{SPC}}) and then moves point where you clicked (like
@kbd{Mouse-1}). Both of these methods copy the region into the kill
@kbd{Mouse-1}).
Using the mouse to mark a region copies the region into the kill
ring in addition to setting the mark; that gives behavior consistent
with other window-driven applications, but if you don't want to modify
with other window-driven applications. If you don't want to modify
the kill ring, you must use keyboard commands to set the mark.

Ordinary undo applies to all changes made in the current buffer. You
can also perform @dfn{selective undo}, limited to the current region
(@pxref{Mark}).
To do this, specify the region you want, then run the @code{undo}
command with a prefix argument (the value does not matter): @kbd{C-u
C-x u} or @kbd{C-u C-_}. This undoes the most recent change in the
region. To undo further changes in the same region, repeat the
@code{undo} command (no prefix argument is needed). In Transient Mark
mode (@pxref{Transient Mark}), any use of @code{undo} when there is an
active region performs selective undo; you do not need a prefix
argument.
