Yes. CUA-mode actually contains quite a few different features that are orthogonal to each other, and could be very useful individually. In a perfect world they would be split into separate packages: the shift key selection stuff, the rectangle operations, the C-x/c/v copy-paste keys, etc. Presumably if this split was done, s-region.el would be unnecessary. -Miles -- A zen-buddhist walked into a pizza shop and said, "Make me one with everything."
