Arguably it is easier to reassign the shortcuts to ctrl+c and ctrl+v in the keyboard preferences. That's what I've done for over a year and it works fine. It is also invaluable for pasting error messages and you can still interrupt programs because gnome-terminal will send ctrl+c through if nothing is selected. Emacs ofcourse doesn't like it. But I don't run Emacs inside a gnome-terminal window and I doubt very many do. Besides, Emacs doesn't run very well inside a gnome-terminal anyway because many alt+<some letter> shortcuts are already allocated to the menubar. I think the actual, existing problems with having Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V be copy/paste are far, far fewer than the theoretical ones. -- mvh Björn _______________________________________________ Usability mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/usability
