Hello,

with Transient Mark mode disabled, M-w (kill-ring-save) makes the mark
blink. I'd like to disable that. I've looked without success for
variables matching "mark", "blink", "kill" that could have been related.

I'm using GNU Emacs 24.1.

Thanks.

Have you tried to just close your eyes or look away?

Yes, but that disrupts my editing.

Jokes apart... So, it cannot be done. Well, I've found a workaround:
setting
the background of the 'region face to be the same color as the
background of the
frame (setting it to nil doesn't work).

Yes, it can be done: set blink-matching-delay to zero. The downside
is that this also affects blink-matching-paren, but maybe you don't
like that as well, or use show-paren-mode instead.
