Most readers here know that most emacs keyboard shortcuts work in cocoa apps (e.g., Control-A to go the beginning of a line). I've been aware of this for a while, but last night noticed something nice. You can use Control-K to cut a pice of text (and Control-Y to "yank" it back) independently of the default OS X Command-X and Command-V cut and paste commands. This means that if you need to have two pieces of information quickly accessible, you can have both of them ready to paste with just a couple of keystrokes.

Hint Options
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
Doesn't work, they share clipboards.
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
Works in 10.2 mail.app. However, it leaves me longing for multiple yanks from the kill ring (M-Y after C-Y).
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
In general, it seems that all the emacs kill-ring stuff works (at least in Terminal, where I checked it). That means you can:
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
Works for me, but only when editing text in a Cocoa app [I only tried TextEdit].
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
it does work, and that's one of the coolest hints i've seen.
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
Does anyone know how to kill the text before the cursor? In the terminal I use ctrl-u, but apparently that doesn't work. (it's not an emacs shortcut apparently)
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
use "shift + alt + backspace"
Use control-K as an extra clipboard in Cocoa apps
This is a fairly cool hint, but I have found that it only works within a single app (you cannot cut from TextEdit and yank into Safari). |
