Emacs Kill Ring

Emacs can get quite annoying with what it pulls into it's kill ring(clipboard). For example if you hit C-<Backspace> to kill previous word it gets droped into the kill ring so it looks like you lost your last killed/copied text.

Fear not however! Wint M-y you can cycle through your previously killed text. Thus if you have text in the clipboard and want to paste it in place of test.

Text test| text 

=C-Backspace=>

Text | text

=C-y=>

Text test| text

=M-y=>
