I have been following this discussion from a distance and therefore tried out the CUA bindings just to see what they do. My interest is protective. I am forever typing C-w in my university's email window and then the whole window vanishes.
My first reaction was negative. When I highlighted some text and then typed C-x C-f to find a new file my higlighted region vanished. I would rather use two different key-bindings---emacs and other---then go through the hassle of undoing unintended text kills. What is the recommended way to protect regular emacs users from this problem? What is the way to tell new users with the CUA bindings about the many, many emacs commands that begin with C-x? Rich
