making Wjed more Windows-friendly

[Guido Gonzato <ggonza@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

I have a question concerning the Windows version of Jed.

As you may know, I have written an ABC mode for Jed - an extension that
turns Jed into an IDE for writing ABC music files. It lives in its own site,
http://abcplus.sourceforge.net

I provide preconfigured packages for Windows users, who are typically
mor^H^H^H very unexperienced. I mean, most of them don't even know the
difference between an editor and a word processing application.

My preconfigured packages use IDE mode, but I realise that CUA mode would
be a better choice. I got reports from users saying that Wjed is
"confusing" because it doesn't behave like other Windows applications -
namely, mouse selection and Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V for cut/copy/paste.

I tried out CUA mode, which is almost perfect. The only thing is, mouse
selection is not equal to the usual Windows way; one has to hold down the
shift key. So my question is: can CUA mode be made more Windows-ish?

I have absolutely no time to try and tweak code myself, because I'm going
to hospital in two days (I'll have my nasal septum and a few other facial
bones fixed).

Thanks,
       Guido =8-)
