So if I have a busy computer or a slow connection or accessibility
problems or slow typing, the only way to reliably compile a document

S-C-c C-c
which is not the most friendly keysequence to type. Also, the meaning
and/or naming of commands changes depending on whether the region is
active or not.
Actually, if your connection would be as slow as mine you would be
forced to run emacs -nw and there would be no difference between
S-C-c C-c and C-c C-c.
Per and others have suggested making the CUA bindings the _default_.
Bindings that do not work on text only terminals, such as shifted
arrow keys and shifted control characters, are unacceptable for
important _default_ bindings, unless they have well-documented
alternatives. But then the user has to learn _two_ sets of bindings.
This applies not just to CUA. I believe that, whenever _any_ changes
to default bindings or manuals descriptions are discussed, text only
terminals, and, in particular, emacs -nw, should not be ignored.
Sincerely,
Luc.
