Thank you for the clarification. In my config, I had remapped 
`delete-char` to `delete-forward-char` years ago and I had forgotten 
that I did that. In Emacs 29, I see in the definition of 
`delete-backward-char` that this command _does_ respect 
`delete-active-region`, and that `delete-char` does not respect this 
setting.

Meow only sets `delete-active-region` to nil. It does not bind any Org 
commands. I only mentioned it to give context. My apologies for any 
confusion.

With your clarification, I am asking that Org commands be added/changed 
to support `delete-active-region`.

Thank you.
