Marcin Borkowski: History of 2024-01-22 From the kill ring to a register

2024-01-22
		04:18 UTC Revision 1 . . . . mbork – I am probably one of the five or six people on this planet who use Emacs registers. I mostly use them for text insertion (especially when I need to insert some boilerplate – and especially more than one piece of it – several times, but it’s not general enough to be put into Yasnippet), but I sometimes store window configurations in them, and I might have used them for other purposes once or twice. Sometimes, though, I kill some text to yank it elsewhere and only then realize that I’ll need to kill/yank some other fragments, too. Using the kill ring to do this one time is fine (with M-y or with browse-kill-ring); using it more times is rather inconvenient. Hence I decided to write a little command to copy the text from the kill ring to a specified register. And here it is.
