kill-line (C-k)
- Kill the text from the current cursor position to the end of the line.
backward-kill-line ()
- Kill backward to the beginning of the line. This is normally unbound.
kill-word (M-d)
- Kill from the cursor to the end of the current word, or if between
words, to the end of the next word.
backward-kill-word (M-DEL)
- Kill the word behind the cursor.
unix-line-discard (C-u)
- Kill the whole line the way C-u used to in Unix line input.
The killed text is saved on the kill-ring.
unix-word-rubout (C-w)
- Kill the word the way C-w used to in Unix line input.
The killed text is saved on the kill-ring. This is different than
backward-kill-word because the word boundaries differ.
yank (C-y)
- Yank the top of the kill ring into the buffer at point.
yank-pop (M-y)
- Rotate the kill-ring, and yank the new top. You can only do this if
the prior command is yank or yank-pop.
