Subject: kill-region without modifying the kill ring
Date: Fri, 25 Sep 2015 01:32:14 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <8272bab2-aa15-479f-b838-0b60fb11c5bb@googlegroups.com> (raw)
is there a way or an idiom for killing a region without changing the kill ring.
I often want to cut several different regions by highlighting them, but then insert a particular thing with C-Y. If I use C-W to kill the region C-Y will yank back the string I just killed rather than the one I want.
It would be nice to have a version of C-W which does not effect the kill-ring.
