 @cindex MS-Windows keyboard shortcuts
   Many key combinations (known as ``keyboard shortcuts'') that have
 conventional uses in MS-Windows programs conflict with traditional
-Emacs commands.  This conflict arose because the designers of Windows
-did not concern themselves with how Emacs used these characters.
-Examples include @kbd{C-c}, @kbd{C-x}, @kbd{C-z}, @kbd{C-a}, and
-@kbd{W-@key{SPC}}.  You can redefine some of them with meanings more
-like the MS-Windows meanings by enabling CUA Mode (@pxref{CUA
-Bindings}).
