The emacs C-c, C-h and C-SPC keys are broken: C-c maps to C-g C-SPC maps to SPC C-h maps to DEL
To verify this just enter M-x global-key-binding 'broken_key´ and emacs prompts you to set 'key´ to a command. 'key´ in the broken cases is simply wrong, as I listed above. Under these conditions emacs turns out to be a real adventure. You want help and you end up deleting things. Want to quit?
