3.1.11.2 Customizing the Edit Menu
..................................

In the Menu Bar, the `Edit' Menu can be customized in various ways.
Use `Edit => Preferences => Startup' to customize these keys.

   The <Ctrl+C> key can be bound to different actions, each in
accordance with a specific style guide.

`Copy'
     This setting binds <Ctrl+C> to the Copy operation, as specified by
     the KDE style guide.  In this setting, use <ESC> to interrupt the
     debuggee.

`Interrupt'
   This (default) setting binds <Ctrl+C> to the Interrupt operation, as
used in several UNIX command-line programs.  In this setting, use
<Ctrl+Ins> to copy text to the clipboard.

   The <Ctrl+A> key can be bound to different actions, too.

`Select All'
     This (default) setting binds <Ctrl+A> to the `Select All'
     operation, as specified by the KDE style guide.  In this setting,
     use <Home> to move the cursor to the beginning of a line.

`Beginning of Line'
     This setting binds <Ctrl+A> to the `Beginning of Line' operation,
     as used in several UNIX text-editing programs.  In this setting,
     use <Ctrl+Shift+A> to select all text.

   Here are the related DDD resources:

 -- Resource: cutCopyPasteBindings (class BindingStyle)
     Controls the key bindings for clipboard operations.

        * If this is `Motif' (default), Cut/Copy/Paste is on
          <Shift+Del>/<Ctrl+Ins>/<Shift+Ins>.  This is conformant to
          the M*tif style guide.

        * If this is `KDE', Cut/Copy/Paste is on
          <Ctrl+X>/<Ctrl+C>/<Ctrl+V>.  This is conformant to the KDE
          style guide.  Note that this means that <Ctrl+C> no longer
          interrupts the debuggee; use <ESC> instead.

 -- Resource: selectAllBindings (class BindingStyle)
     Controls the key bindings for the `Select All' operation.

        * If this is `Motif', Select All is on <Shift+Ctrl+A>.

        * If this is `KDE' (default), Select All is on <Ctrl+A>.  This
          is conformant to the KDE style guide.  Note that this means
          that <Ctrl+A> no longer moves the cursor to the beginning of
          a line; use <Home> instead.
