Using `M-x cua-mode' doesn't print a message in the mode-line, whereas using the menu option does. Why not always print a message (many other mode toggles do, and they probably all should), and make the menu option and `M-x cua-mode' exactly the same? 2. If you have transient-mark-mode enabled, turning on cua-mode and then turning it off again leaves transient-mark-mode disabled; it would be much better to leave it in whatever state it was in originally. I'm not sure the best way to implement this. 3. In the NEWS file, it says: With cua, the region can be set and extended using shifted movement keys (like pc-selection-mode) and typed text replaces the active region (like delete-selection-mode). Do not enable these modes with cua-mode. It would be nice if `pc-selection-mode' and `delete-selection-mode' simply used the same code that cua-mode does, so that they are more compatible (after all, it's not unlikely that a potential user of CUA mode already has one or both of them enabled, and might not see the warning in NEWS). -Miles -- Ich bin ein Virus.
