when I need more, I use register-list.el. I see, you want to go fast. Using read-key+minibuffer, as I said would be a pain to implement, hopefully (IIUC) we can use only minibuffer and exit immediately and it is simple to implement (3 lines): 1) Set register-use-preview to nil. 2) Apply this patch on register.el: @@ -388,6 +388,3 @@ =2D (if (member pat strs) =2D (with-selected-window (minibuffer-wind= ow) =2D (minibuffer-message msg pat)) =2D (with-selected-window (minibuffer-window) =2D (minibuffer-message =2D "Register `%s' is empty" pat))))))))) + (with-selected-window (minibuffer-window) + (setq result pat) + (exit-minibuffer)))))))) 3) Try your "a", "b", "c" registers and also to set a new register, if needed you can call C-h to have a preview, in this case you will have to hit RET. Let me know if this is acceptable for you.
