Figured it out. This portion of cua.bind was causing the issue (and this seems
like how I fixed it before):
#
# bookmarks
#
\bind "C-~S-1" "bookmark-goto 1"
\bind "C-~S-2" "bookmark-goto 2"
\bind "C-~S-3" "bookmark-goto 3"
\bind "C-~S-4" "bookmark-goto 4"
\bind "C-~S-5" "bookmark-goto 5"
\bind "C-~S-6" "bookmark-goto 6"
\bind "C-~S-7" "bookmark-goto 7"
\bind "C-~S-8" "bookmark-goto 8"
\bind "C-~S-9" "bookmark-goto 9"
\bind "M-~S-1" "bookmark-save 1"
\bind "M-~S-2" "bookmark-save 2"
\bind "M-~S-3" "bookmark-save 3"
\bind "M-~S-4" "bookmark-save 4"
\bind "M-~S-5" "bookmark-save 5"
\bind "M-~S-6" "bookmark-save 6"
\bind "M-~S-7" "bookmark-save 7"
\bind "M-~S-8" "bookmark-save 8"
\bind "M-~S-9" "bookmark-save 9"
If I copy cua.bind to the user bind directory, delete this portion of it, and
then add my shortcut bindings to the end it works. The ones that were getting
broken were Alt+# where #=1,2,3,4 which I used to select delimiter sizes. I
suppose the correct procedure is to unbind these before reassigning them.

Alright, new problem. Pointing the preferences to user.bind fixed my lost
shortcut issues, but then basic things like copy and paste quit working. I
know these are in cua.bind. So I copied cua.bind to the user bind directory,
changed its name to cuauser.bind and added the shortcuts from user.bind to
that, effectively combining the contents of the two files, and pointed
preferences to that. I get the basic cua functionality but none of my custom
shortcuts. It seems like this happened when I upgraded to 2.4 too, but I
forgot how I eventually fixed this. Any help is appreciated.

Subject: Shortcut bindings broken
After upgrading to 2.5, I notice that some of my shortcut bindings no longer
work. It displays ": Command disabled" in the Progress/Debug Messages
pane. The shortcuts still show up under Preferences->Editing>Shortcuts; they
just do not function as before. How do I fix this?
Thank you.
