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
=>
text text| text
