Hi Steven,
this code belongs into org.el, where similar statements are
already present for a couple of other functions:
;; Make `delete-selection-mode' work with org-mode and orgtbl-mode
(put 'org-self-insert-command 'delete-selection t)
(put 'orgtbl-self-insert-command 'delete-selection t)
(put 'org-delete-char 'delete-selection 'supersede)
(put 'org-delete-backward-char 'delete-selection 'supersede)
I have added your line, thanks.
- Carsten
