Subject: unhelpful menu keybinding notes
Date: Mon, 17 Apr 2006 12:36:25 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <buohd4seuva.fsf@dhapc248.dev.necel.com> (raw)
In the GTK version of emacs, the keybinding notes for the "Edit > Cut"
and "Edit > Copy" menu entries say "<cut>" and "<copy>" respectively.
Those names don't seem very useful to me, as most keyboards don't have
such keys; also they don't help teach the real Emacs bindings.
Shouldn't those just say "C-w" and "M-w" ?
