As a long time emacs user I must agree with the positions we have all been agreeing with: * it has a long learning curve * it has a lot of power
So I have a lot invested in it, and want to ensure emacs continues to survive, nay thrive. Unfortunately I think its rate of adoption is continually going down, as more people use Windows and fewer use Unix. I have configured my emacs to use the Windows keys. ;; Make the ctrl-c ctrl-v ctrl-x keys work like they don in Windows ;; 2003-03-17 I downloaded from http://www.cua.dk/cua.html Version: 2.10 (require 'cua) (CUA-mode t) However there is a BUG in emacs (or the documentation). If you need to run a command that begins with C-x you must hold the Shift key down while pressing Ctrl. The other workarounds suggested in the CUA documentation did not work for me: Press the prefix key twice very quickly (within 0.2 seconds), press the prefix key and the following key within 0.2 seconds) Does anyone gotten these two techniques to work? Does anyone have other ideas to help ensure the continued widespread use of emacs?
