The Cut/Copy/Paste bindings are already different on different platforms, for example, on Windows XP, it's C-x/c/v; on Mac OS X, it's M-x/c/v (M represents the Apple key). So it's really difficult for emacs to adjust its complicated bindings to them. We have to live with that. On the contrary, I wonder whether there is any global way configuring other applications to behave as emacs, since sometimes it also pisses me off due to this inconsistence. -- William http://williamxu.net9.org
