Emacs key bindings in DrRacket?

Question

How are we supposed to configure DrRacket so that it does not use Emacs key bindings? Like I type C-s and it just saves the code instead of bringing up the search line. Or I use C-x C-f and it won't open another file. The DrRacket documentation claims to not use Emacs bindings but it obviously does.

You want to disable the check box, Enable keybindings in menus.

Unfortunately this checkbox is a bit buried:

1. Open the Racket Preferences dialog.

2. Click the Editing tab.

3. There's a row of sub-tabs for that. Click the General sub-tab.

4. A few items down you should see the Enable keybindings in menus check box. Un-check it.
