History of 2018-03-10 A tip on yanking

2018-03-10
		05:14 UTC Revision 1 . . . . Marcin Borkowski – I have a few longer posts in the works, but for today I want to share a simple trick. We Emacs users all know and love the kill ring, and many of us know about M-y (yank-pop) and even C-u ... C-y (i.e., a numeric argment to yank). For those who don’t know: C-u 1 C-y is equivalent to plain C-y, but C-u 2 C-y (or just C-2 C-y) inserts the previous killed text (much like C-y M-y), and also marks it as the current one. With higher arguments, it inserts earlier kills.
