Better cua-mode (alien.top)

Hi,

I was thinking how we can solve the ctrl+c "problem", I found that the ctrl+c with cua-mode is working as copy when a region is selected and it is working az prefix when there is no region selected.
I would like to ask that is possible to change the ctrl+c in the "c" codebase easily or I don't know where ?
It can be a patch and create a custom build to myself ...
Or I just live with it and there is no way to put this "user prefix" to an other key combination ?

thanks for the answers!

You can download the full source, create you own version and compile your own. Ut why not simply add CUA mode in your init file?

Or try xah-fly-keys it has CUA mode support ootb.

There is wakib-keys in melpa as an alternative to cua-mode. It uses C-d in place of C-c as a prefix, so for example, for C-c C-c, you would now press C-d C-c. C-c does Copy.

In CUA mode, you can use C-S-c and C-S-x as the prefixes and then only use C-x and C-c for cut and copy.
