In other windows editors, I can 1. Select text(t1) from somewhere and copy it . 2. Go somewhere else and and select some other text(t2) and paste t1. So t2 will be replaced by t1. How do we do this in emacs ? Does anyone have macro to do this ? I know there’s search replace command but I don’t want to use that.
