Maybe sometimes. But often it just suffocates the whole discussion.

It's a pain to type with such bindings. I guess that is a matter of taste. I don't have any problem with bindings like Shift+Ctrl+<char>. But yes, it would be very cool if Windows support multi-character key bindings, like Emacs do. > Anyway, this is going nowhere: Emacs will never turn CUA on by > default. We might as well stop arguing. I apologize for not following this thread closely enough then -- I would never propose such a thing. Hmm, I just checked my Options menu under w32, and CUA mode is one of the first options, nice!
