|
<dfn>Killing</dfn> text means to delete the text from the line, but to save
|
||
|
|
it away for later use, usually by <dfn>yanking</dfn> (re-inserting)
|
||
|
|
it back into the line.
|
||
|
|
(`Cut' and `paste' are more recent jargon for `kill' and `yank'.)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>If the description for a command says that it `kills' text, then you can
|
||
|
|
be sure that you can get the text back in a different (or the same)
|
||
|
|
place later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>When you use a kill command, the text is saved in a <dfn>kill-ring</dfn>.
|
||
|
|
Any number of consecutive kills save all of the killed text together, so
|
||
|
|
that when you yank it back, you get it all. The kill
|
||
|
|
ring is not line specific; the text that you killed on a previously
|
||
|
|
typed line is available to be yanked back later, when you are typing
|
||
|
|
another line.
|
||
|
|
<a name="index-kill-ring-3186"></a>
|
||
|
|
Here is the list of commands for killing text.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><kbd>C-k</kbd><dd>Kill the text from the current cursor position to the end of the line.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><kbd>M-d</kbd><dd>Kill from the cursor to the end of the current word, or, if between
|
||
|
|
words, to the end of the next word.
|
||
|
|
Word boundaries are the same as those used by <kbd>M-f</kbd>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><kbd>M-<DEL></kbd><dd>Kill from the cursor the start of the current word, or, if between
|
||
|
|
words, to the start of the previous word.
|
||
|
|
Word boundaries are the same as those used by <kbd>M-b</kbd>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><kbd>C-w</kbd><dd>Kill from the cursor to the previous whitespace. This is different than
|
||
|
|
<kbd>M-<DEL></kbd> because the word boundaries differ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</dl>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>Here is how to <dfn>yank</dfn> the text back into the line. Yanking
|
||
|
|
means to copy the most-recently-killed text from the kill buffer.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<dl>
|
||
|
|
<dt><kbd>C-y</kbd><dd>Yank the most recently killed text back into the buffer at the cursor.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<br><dt><kbd>M-y</kbd><dd>Rotate the kill-ring, and yank the new top. You can only do this if
|
||
|
|
the prior command is <kbd>C-y</kbd> or <kbd>M-y</kbd>.
|
||
|
|
</dl>

||
|
