It wouldn't make any difference to me if this were implemented so long as I
wouldn't have to manually delete the default text before typing the desired
text. And I would still want access to history.
But I doubt I would use the enhancement. I do things Differently. I can
think of something else that's more desirable.
A comment about terminology, regarding "region" vs. "highlighted text." It
means the same thing to me because of my setup -- perhaps
(transient-mark-mode t) -- and maybe the fact that I'm using a Windows port
of Emacs. It may mean the same to the OP.

Hm, I can think of lots of times when I wouldn't want this. Are you saying
that
the way you often create tasks is to highlight some text in a buffer and
then
paste it as the task description when prompted?
I guess part of the reason I wouldn't want this is that I don't use the
mouse
to highlight text in Emacs unless I'm pasting it somewhere outside Emacs.
Maybe something analogous to the way that C-u M-x remember uses the current
region as the starting note text?
What do others think? Ideas about the best way to do it in a way that works
in
both the terminal and GUI emacs?
