This command slightly extends the existing copy-from-above-command: there is nothng "fundamenal" about that operation. It's one special case of a general operation. The traditional way to do it in Emacs is C-p C-a C-k C-k C-y C-y. Every user who can do basic editing in Emacs knows how to do this, and givem how (n)frequent this operation is, that's short enough. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
