I also must implement this, even though I don't use it myself. If I look at emacs's CUA mode.. then the amount of keybindings is overwhelming. What paticular bindings do you think is needed? CTRL-C = copy CTRL-V = paste CTRL-X = cut SHIFT-ARROW = move selection around Besides above bindings.. I don't know what defines CUA.. I think about making the above mode default.. and then use my own configuration file to turn it off. Opinions about CUA are welcome. > All editors need this: > > In UEdit for AmigaOS, you could write this: > > > > The editor provided a very light and very aware language, designed for > macros.

Hmm.. thinking... So you could have a file consisting only of macros.. when suddenly felt need for a macro.. then you could load the macro file.. browse to the macro you wanted.. and then compile it. It sounds like a nice feature.. Where can I find more info about UEdit's macro system..? Do you have more examples of macros? Do you think it would be suitable.. or can it be done nicer ? -- Simon Strandgaard
