IMO, this way of navigating through the kill ring has two problems: 1. Is not intuitive: the standard way of "history searching" is with M-p/M-n (Search ring, minibuffer input, ...). 2. Is cumbersome in some cases: If you repeat `M-y' quickly to find an old entry and realize that the wanted entry was already retrieved, you have to invoke a negative prefix argument and then `M-y'. Pretty cumbersome. Therefore, my proposal is obvious: Just after yanking some text into some buffer (and before doing anything else) the keys M-p/M-n should allow the user to navigate (backward/forward) through the kill ring. The selected entry would be placed in the buffer (as happens now with M-y). -- Dani Moncayo
