Supposing I want to copy something from Safari to emacs. So I - select and copy - select and kill the text I want to substitute - try to paste ARGH! Now the text I copied from safari is disappeared... A workardound is to delete first and then copy-paste. But is there a smarter way to solve this? Something like "if I copied something from the os keep it as first in the kill ring"?
