Subject: Move yanked entry to front of kill ring instead of other way around
Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 02:48:16 -0800 (PST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f42c6c70-aa7b-4aa0-8ed5-741325dff4d7@l22g2000hsc.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm using OSX Aquamacs 1.2a (based on emacs 22), but the following
issue also occurs on e.g. Slackware 10.2's emacs (21.4.2).
If one kills a number of things in a row, e.g. "haha", "hoho" and
"hihi", and then yanks the second-to-last ("hoho"), the front of the
kill ring has moved to "hoho". If one then wants to yank "hihi", one
needs to cycle back through the whole kill ring until it overflows
again and the last killed entries are reached again. This can be
tedious after editing for a while.
Is there some command which allows to either cycle backwards in the
kill ring (from the front to the newer entries; "undo" does not work
for this), or (better yet) to physically move a yanked entry to the
front of the ring? In that case, in my example "hoho" and "hihi" would
just swap places.
Kind regards,
Bram Adams
