Kill ring question

Kill ring question

[Ke Lu]

Is there any way to switch kill ring/delete?
In some case, I just want delete text, not kill.

	M-x delete-region

or

	C-u <number> BS

The latter does not help:

DEL (translated from <backspace>) runs the command delete-backward-char
  which is an interactive built-in function in `C source code'.
It is bound to DEL.
(delete-backward-char N &optional KILLFLAG)

Delete the previous N characters (following if N is negative).
Optional second arg KILLFLAG non-nil means kill instead (save in kill ring).
Interactively, N is the prefix arg, and KILLFLAG is set if
N was explicitly specified.

Indeed ... Strange behaviour, anyway. Does it come from a time when  
GNU Emacs did not have undo?

I Can't get any more ideas, So the only thing I can do is

;; Add to .emacs
(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-k")
  (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    (if mark-active
        (progn
          (delete-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
          )
      (call-interactively 'mark-word)
      (delete-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
      )))

;; add to .viper     
(define-key viper-vi-global-user-map "K"
  (lambda ()
    (interactive)
    (if mark-active
        (progn
          (delete-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
          )
      (call-interactively 'mark-word)
      (delete-region (region-beginning) (region-end))
      )))

Why not define your clean function once and use only its name when  
binding it to keys?

It's quite right, I forgot it.
Thank you.

I would rather add a key for this, not toggling delete/kill:

  (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-w") 'delete-region)
