I am using Emacs 23.3 on Mac OS X Lion. How can I delete the selected text region with simple key typing—something like delete or C-d? This works on windows without setting anything specific. How can I implement that in Mac OS X Lion?

    Try M-xcua-mode. This will change a lot of things about the way Emacs behaves to fit the behavior of other GUI applications. For more information, see M-S-:(info "(emacs) CUA Bindings").

    You can turn it on persistently with M-xcustomize-optionRETcua-mode.
