When I was using a text editor under windows, I rarely used the mouse. I used ctrl+shift+arrow keys to select text and ctrl+c and ctrl+v to do copy paste stuff. So far in linux (and emacs) whenever I need to copy/paste something, I highlight the text with mouse and then middle-click the mouse to paste it. What would be the shortcuts to do same things in emacs with keyboard? Especially equivalent of ctrl+shift+arrow key in emacs? Also ctrl+c and ctrl+v are conveniently located on the keyboard. To my despair ctrl+c has a different meaning (kill!) for linux. Finally... Undo is simply ctrl+z in windows, while linux uses that combination to suspend the process. Emacs's ctrl+_ is difficult because 1) those key are not close to each other 2) I don't have an explicit _ key. It is 'shift' of +. So I need to ctrl+shift+ + which is obviously harder. Please help this poor soul in his transition to Linux and emacs Thanks all
