That'd mean that your Emacs is confused somehow, but why? [...] > Can you still show me how I yank and operate (string-replace) only > on the yanked text? I don't know exactly what you want to achieve (manual operation, or ultimately some automatism?), but you might start here: - after a (normal) yank, the last mark is at the start of the yanked text and point at its end (but mark is not active). So if you activate it, e.g. by M-x eval-expression RET (activate-mark) RET you get the just yanked stuff "selected". You'll have to wrap some of that into commands to make it practical, though. Season to taste. - there isn't, AFAIK, a hook hanging off the yank event itself (a pity, IMHO), but if you somehow manage to attach the text property named 'yank-handler (having as value a function + arg provided by you), then this function gets the chance to do its thing just after yanking. Search for "yank-handler" in the Emacs Lisp manual. I'm a bit pressed now, but if you nudge me I'd be willing to whip up an example. regards - -- t -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlc9e4sACgkQBcgs9XrR2kYZOwCfQpAsCcNfDAh7YXGXMTAJIJMo 0c4AnRE/GyKY0fCri6uoQhQS+OcUNa/a =6S6s -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
