Subject: bug#43322: Confusing menu entry for cua-mode
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 2020 17:41:13 -0700

Severity: wishlist

The menu item for cua-mode is, I claim unhelpfully, called "Shift
movement mark region (CUA)".  I am unable to parse what this even means
-- I thought it was about C-x and C-v, etc.?

Hmm... so after thinking about it for a while and reading the docstring,
I suppose it's saying that Shift-Left will mark things?  But that
already seems to be the case OOTB in "emacs -Q"?  OK, I give up...

Could we find a better name for this?
