Re: mouse-less emacs

[Xah Lee]

all you have to do is turn on the CUA mode.

i quote from my emacs tutorial
http://xahlee.org/emacs/emacs.html

First, turn on the CUA mode, under the menu “Options‣C-x/C-c/C-v Cut
and Paste (CUA)” then select “Options‣Save Options”

This achieve 4 things: (1) Cut/Copy/Paste has shortcuts with x/c/v
keys; (2) Text selection will be highlighted; (3) Typing while a
region is selected will delete/over-ride it. (4) Text selection can be
done by holding down the Shift key and press a arrow key.

you can get a visual template of default keyboard shortcuts, or
instructions how to define any shortcuts, from my tutorial above.
