How to remap C-c?

Question

Given that there are so many major modes which define their own maps for this prefix (e.g. latex, org, term), is there a safe way to move these maps somewhere else, and always have the C-c key free?

I'm hoping there's a convenient way, because I noticed ErgoEmacs does exactly this.

Answer 1

As far as i know, there no easy way, unless you dive deep into emacs innards and create ways to remap every mode's keys on load. (I think Matthew Fidler is actually working on this)

ergoemacs-mode does not remap the C-c. It turns on cua-mode, but cua-mode doesn't remap C-c neither, it just create several clever ways so that key can be used for multiple purposes (e.g. by the speed you press the key, or whether there's a text selection, etc.). All C-c * keys are still there.
