PS i forgot to mention, that Ctrl+w is emacs default shortcut to copy
text. So, if you set Close to Ctrl+w, then you should find another key
for Copy. You can set emacs to Copy by Ctrl+c, by going to the menu
“Options‣C-x/C-c/C-v Cut and Paste (CUA)”, Then use menu “Options‣Save
Options”.

For some details about these, see:
