Well, we can do many things that can make (most) users easy. For example: * Turn on cua-mode by default * Add a "redo" command * Change the terminology of =E2=80=9Ckill=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9Ccut=E2=80=9D= , and =E2=80=9Cyank=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9Cpaste=E2=80=9D * Switch the terminology of =E2=80=9Cwindow=E2=80=9D and =E2=80=9Cframe=E2= =80=9D * Change the terminology of =E2=80=9Ccar=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9Cfirst=E2=80= =9D, and =E2=80=9Ccdr=E2=80=9D to =E2=80=9Crest=E2=80=9D ... But we can't, since many of them will break existing users' configuration. Although eww doesn't have this problem, I think we should think twice before "making things easy for users". -- Best regards, Xue Fuqiao. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
