In CUA emulation mode, Epsilon recognizes most of the key combinations commonly used in Windows programs. Other keys generally retain their usual Epsilon function.

To enable this emulation, press Alt-x, then type cua-keyboard and press <Enter>. Use Alt-x epsilon-keyboard <Enter> to return to Epsilon's default key assignments.

The table shows the CUA key combinations that differ from Epsilon's native (Emacs-style) key configuration. In addition, various Alt-letter key combinations not mentioned here invoke menu items (for example, Alt-F displays the File menu in CUA mode, though it doesn't in Epsilon's native configuration).

Many commands in Epsilon are two-key combinations starting with Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C. In CUA mode, use Ctrl-W instead of Ctrl-X, and Ctrl-K instead of Ctrl-C. For example, the command delete-blank-lines, normally on Ctrl-X Ctrl-O, is on Ctrl-W Ctrl-O in CUA emulation.
