Re: No copy when killing

[Xah <xahlee@gmail.com>]

Here's a kill-word command that does not push text into kill-ring.

(defun my-kill-word (arg)
  "Kill characters forward until encountering the end of a word.
With argument, do this that many times.
Do not push killed text to kill-ring"
  (interactive "p")
  (delete-region (point) (progn (forward-word arg) (point))))

it's basically copy-paste of the same code of kill-word, execpt that
kill-region is replaced by delete-region.

here's a simple kill-line that doesn't push to kill-ring.

(defun delete-point-to-line-end ()
  "Delete text from current position to end of line char."
  (interactive)
  (delete-region
   (point)
   (save-excursion (move-end-of-line 1) (point))
   ))
