In CUA emulation mode, Epsilon recognizes most of the key combinations commonly used in Windows programs. Other keys retain their usual Epsilon function.

To enable this emulation, press Alt-x, then type cua-keyboard and press <Enter>. Use Alt-x epsilon-keyboard <Enter> to return to the default Epsilon key assignments.

Various Alt-letter key combinations not mentioned in the figure invoke menu items (for example, Alt-F displays the File menu in CUA mode, though it doesn't in Epsilon's native configuration).

Many commands in Epsilon are two-key combinations starting with Ctrl-X. In CUA mode, use Ctrl-W instead of Ctrl-X. For example, the command delete-blank-lines is normally on Ctrl-X Ctrl-O, but in CUA emulation you would type Ctrl-W Ctrl-O.
