I wrote the following function, to copy the current buffer to a
temporary buffer:
(defun dcbl-buffer-to-temp ()
(interactive)
(let ((buffer-name (generate-new-buffer-name "tempory-edit")))
(copy-region-as-kill (point-min) (point-max))
(switch-to-buffer buffer-name)
(yank)))
This works OK (I think) except for one problem: there is an entry
added to the kill-ring. Is there a way to remove this?

Is there a way to remove this? Just don't use the kill-ring and its commands for that. I.e. use e.g. `buffer-substring[-no-properties]' for copying and `insert' for pasting.

I changed it to: (defun dcbl-buffer-to-temp () (interactive) (let ((buffer-name (generate-new-buffer-name "tempory-edit")) (text (buffer-substring (point-min) (point-max)))) (switch-to-buffer buffer-name) (insert text))) -- Cecil Westerhof Senior Software Engineer LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/cecilwesterhof ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
