Can you use the Key Bindings Preferences of Xcode to either assign ctrl-X ctrl-S to be "Save" or maybe "turn off" ctrl-X or make it do something innocuous?

I am a devoted Emacs user, although not so devoted that I don't find Xcode's editor acceptable for code development. It's a trade-off which I use more for text editing overall, though, because I do so much work with LaTeX, and I use Emacs for all of that.

As a result, there are always a few awkward transition moments, like typing CMD-W for CMD-C, closing the window when I meant to copy. Actually more annoying is when I type CTRL-X CTRL-S for CMD-S when I mean to save. Nothing happens on the screen, but it hides an invisible \177 character that comes back to bite me when I try to compile.

"Stray \177 in program," is a compiler error. The build window gives one the line number, at which point one has to use the arrow keys on the line until it "doesn't move" over one character and delete it. This process is time-consuming and tedious.

I acknowledge for the most part, this is a personal problem and that furthermore, many of you probably think I should be using BBEdit, but seriously, is there a way I can tell Xcode (and just Xcode, not the system as a whole, which would affect Emacs) that when I type CTRL-X, I didn't mean for it to do anything?

Thank you in advance for any ideas,

Ashley Burgoyne
