"Consistency" is not quite correct. I used M-y for this because (1) the operation is comparable to yanking and (2) the usual binding of M-y was never useful after C-s. In recent years, we have given several control characters a special meaning after C-s. Most of those special meanings are not useful for me, but there were some that I used to type often to exit the search. Now that no longer works. -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
