Using ergonomic shortcuts and cua mode

Using ergonomic shortcuts and cua mode

[Markus Haider]

Hi,

I use Emacs 23 with the ergonomic shortcuts
http://xahlee.org/emacs/ergonomic_emacs_keybinding.html
However, when I also use cua-mode at the same time, M-v gets bound to
cua-repeat-replace-region. Is there a way to keep M-v bound to yank?

One possible solution would be to work without cua-mode, and I could
manually define the shortcuts C-c, C-v, C-x. However I cannot change C-x
via global-set-key as it is a prefix. I would not mind to move the
Control-X-prefix to another key, but I don't know how to do it...

Thank you for your help,
Greetings
Markus

I think you can undefine M-v in the cua keymap where it is defined, like this:

(define-key cua--cua-keys-keymap [(meta ?v)] nil)


Tip: In nXhtml there is a modified version of the normal "C-h c" help
that shows the key binding + the key map where it is bound. This
latter is a guess, but most of the time it is correct. I bind this
command to "f1 c":

  <f1> c runs the command describe-key-and-map-briefly, which is an
  interactive compiled Lisp function in `ourcomments-util.el'.

You could try binding ctl-x-map to a new key and removing it from Ctrl-X.
