The proper place for setkey statements is in the keybindings hooks,
which is called by the emulation (e.g., emacs, ide, cua, etc).
However, you can use setkey statements but they must occur *after*
loading the emulation:

   setkey (...);           % This setkey statement will NOT work
   () = evalfile ("cua");  % because cua.sl will unset the binding.
   setkey (...);           % This setkey statement WILL work.
