Maybe your environment has unbounded the key combination or bound it to something else. Try full commands instead of keystrokes: i.e. ESC-x-kill-rectangle ESC-x-delete-rectangle , ESC-x-yank-rectangle and ESC-x-clear-rectangle. Luca: Without picture mode, you cannot select a rectangle, only multiple lines. (<strong>Update</strong> it seems you can still use the full commands, but you lose the keybindings) Vaibhav: I tried on gnu emacs and xemacs, in both, I was able to quit picture mode by CTRL-c-c.

You could simply select the text as usual and then use the rectangle commands. --- Luca I think that using picture mode is not necessary.
