But the remapping is the elegant part of cua --- in each of the keymaps for the region, rectangle, and global mark I simply remap kill-ring-save to cua-kill-region, cua-kill-rectangle or cua-kill-to-global-mark ... ignoring the specific keybindings the user may be using for kill-ring-save (and copy-region-as-kill BTW). > > What do these "many other commands" have to do with remapping > `kill-ring-save'?

Well, they define other bindings which are specific for cua's handling of the region, rectangles, and global mark. -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
