The new option is called 'insist', it allows pressing the same key as the register name to exit minibuffer. This would ease adoption of the new preview by users not wanting to press RET. Examples: To insert register "a", you can do C-x r i a a To overwrite register "z", you can do C-x r x z z See attached patch. Thanks.
