Thank you! This works perfect.

    I must note that you’re in for a lot of swimming against the current
    if you want to reclaim C-c from its established Emacs role as a
    prefix.
    A lot of modes bind some of their functionality to sequences
    starting with C-c, and you will either have to rebind them in order to
    start using them, or they will wrest C-c back from you.

As far as I read in the Emacs conventions, the C-c is reserved for 
users, so other modes should not use it. But if some plugin tend to use 
C-c for somewhat, I'll have to deal with it, yes. This is the price I'm 
ready to pay to stay with regular and globaly accepted hotkeys. Btw, the 
Current is a global tendency and even an old convention to use C-c for 
copy and so on. So it is Emacs who is swimming against it (for 
historical reasons). Maybe it will drift to use the Ctrl+Z/X/C/V/O/Q 
gradually. The CUA mode is the first step in this direction. Time will show.
