Ergoemacs C-x and C-c Shortcuts, and Apple Cmd shortcuts

Question

For ergoemacs, what are the C-x and C-c shortcuts re-mapped to?

There doesn't seem to be a page to help people transition from regular emacs to ergoemacs mode. They just have a keyboard picture with everything in it, without any information on C-x and C-c.

Also for Apple keyboards, when it says Ctrl/Cmd, does that mean either can be used? It doesn't look like it. It seems that OS X Cmd shortcuts are taking precedence over the ergoemacs ones. Until Ctrl/Cmd means something else?

Answer 1

Ctrl-c is copy and Ctrl-x is cut.

According to ErgoEmacs Documentation, the keybindings C-c and C-y are respectively associated with native <copy> and <paste> functionality using emacs kill-ring-save and yank commands.

The traditional C-k and C-y methods of line pulling / yanking used in GNU Emacs and XEmacs are left behind in an attempt to "[make it] so you don't have to change your mindset when you switch in and out of emacs". We can expect many features of ergoemacs to be intuitive to the sort of end-users who have never been religiously bound to a text editor.

Answer 2

In current version of ergoemacs-mode, by default C-x and C-c are same as GNU Emacs's.

in older version of ergoemacs-mode, the gnu emacs's C-x and C-c are simply left intact. ergoemacs-mode just turn on cua-mode.
