(@pxref{Graphical Kill}).
To run a command like @kbd{C-x C-f} while the mark is active, use
one of the following methods: either hold @kbd{Shift} together with
the prefix key, e.g. @kbd{S-C-x C-f}, or quickly type the prefix key
twice, e.g. @kbd{C-x C-x C-f}.
@cindex rectangle highlighting
CUA mode provides enhanced rectangle support with visible
rectangle highlighting. Use @kbd{C-RET} to start a rectangle,
extend it using the movement commands, and cut or copy it using
@kbd{C-x} or @kbd{C-c}. When a rectangle is active, text you type is
automatically inserted before or after each line in the rectangle.

(clockwise) corner of the rectangle, so you can easily expand it in
any direction. Normal text you type is inserted to the left or right
of each line in the rectangle (on the same side as the cursor).
With CUA you can easily copy text and rectangles into and out of
registers by providing a one-digit numeric prefix the the kill, copy,
