Traditionally Emacs like editors use Ctrl-X as a keyboard command prefix. This conflicts with the normal use of Ctrl-X as the Cut operation. By default Barry’s Emacs allows both uses of Ctrl-X. If you have highlighted a selection Ctrl-X will Cut it into the clip board. Otherwise Barry’s Emacs uses the Ctrl-X as a first key of a Ctrl-X command. To add the default behaviour to your emacsinit.ml place the following line at the top of the file.
