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.
