Summary: Mention EmacsKeyNotation

Added:

> * EmacsKeyNotation -- Explain the convention of Emacs key sequences found below.

Changed:

< * CategoryReferenceSheet -- More key lists.

to

> * ReferenceCards, CategoryReferenceSheet -- More key lists.

Changed:

< CUA keys are available with CuaMode, this includes `C-c', `C-x', `C-v' and `C-z' and visible region selection. This mimics the familiar behavior found on in Windows, Mac and Motif. *Note*: If region is not active -- no visible selection -- then `C-x' works as it as it does normally in Emacs (without cua-mode).
<
< On the other hand if the region is active you can use C-S-x (or two rapid C-x C-x) instead C-x to do what C-x normally does in Emacs.
< The same goes for the other CUA keys.
< See cua-mode help for more information.
