Hi Sven,

we´re limited to the editor´s capabilities right now for the
keybindings, but these are already changed in the development version of
KDevelop for KDE 2 to be completely customizable. Meanwhile you can set
the keybindings for cut, copy and paste system wide in the kde-control
center (hope it works).

BTW: you should try version 1.1 of KDevelop or wait some more weeks for
1.2 coming out, 0.4 is very stable but a more recent version will offer
more features and bugfixes.

Thanks for your interest and feedback,

Ralf
