Subject: bug#28931: 24.5; cua-mode does not replace keyboard shortcuts in Edit menu
Date: Sat, 21 Oct 2017 21:30:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3260106.Luc2HRlV4k@omega> (raw)
Someone has this customization in his ~/.emacs file:
(cua-mode 1)
This has the effect of enabling CUA mode. But the user is not
aware of it, because the Edit menu displays:
Undo C-x u
Cut C-w
Copy M-w
As a consequence, the user does not feel familiar with this
editor and does not dare to use the keystrokes he's familar with
(Ctrl-C for Copy etc.).
Suggestion: Make the Edit menu display
Undo C-z
Cut C-x
Copy C-c
Then the user would feel familiar and could use these
keybindings without thinking about them.
