Re: Question Kill-ring modify last entry.

[Ergus <spacibba@aol.com>]

Hi:

I have already seen kill-new. I was just preventing myself to reinvent
the wheel in case there were something else already there.

I was looking for something like `append-next-kill` that I could use for
`copy-region-as-kill` (or similar), but for replace instead of
appending and acting on regions instead of passing the string already
manipulated.

Ideally I thought that the higher level functions (kill-region,
copy-region-as-kill) somehow unified the lower level functions
(kill-append, kill-new). Maybe throw parameters.

But ok, thanks.

I know what to do now :)
