I do not use CUA mode. Please note that the discussion was about cua-selection-mode, not cua-mode. Yes, but I don't use CUA mode, so I would not know what any of it does. What cua-selection-mode provides is the: - transient-mark-mode - delete-selection-mode - S-ARROW_KEY extends the region (Probably some more, but this is the main functionality). This might be a superior for Delete Selection mode. If we want to promote it that way, we should choose a better name that CUA Selection mode, because most people won't know what "CUA" means. But I don't think it should be the default, any more than Delete Selection mode should be.
