I would like to select the whole function by going to VISUAL mode and using $ to go to the last character and then going to the matching bracket with %. Doing this in NORMAL mode works fine, but when in VISUAL, it doesn’t. How can I fix this? Or, what should I check to fix this?

    You can select in one go in GNU Emacs. You can bind this to some shortcut.

    (defun select-func-at-point ()
  (interactive)
  (let (bounds pos1 pos2 mything)
    (setf bounds (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'defun))
    (setf pos1 (car bounds))
    (setf pos2 (cdr bounds))
    (set-mark pos1)
    (goto-char pos2)))
