C-y should "yank"

Open jackrusher opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

Issue:

In an environment with emacs-like C-k to "structure aware kill", there should be a dual that pastes what was killed. This is known, by tradition, as "yanking", and is usually bound to C-y.

do you think it would be sufficient to simply copy the text to the system clipboard as we kill it, vs. maintaining a separate clipboard history / "kill ring"?

The kill ring is amazing, but we should probably just use the clipboard for now. :)
