[Orgmode] Re: Copying and Pasting (and Selecting)

[Bernt Hansen]

Hi David,

I think that's your version of Emacs getting in the way.  C-w and C-y
are cut and paste for me on linux (and windows using the Emacs W32 port
with those shift/C-c/C-v keys disabled so it doesn't emulate windows
application mode.

My move a region command sequence:
  - C-SPC to set point
  - move to beg/end of region
  - C-w to cut
  - move to target location
  - C-y to paste.

HTH,
Bernt
