any emacs elitists here?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

they have no use for copy buffers, they are still configuring emacs.

Get out

[–] xmunk 6 points 7 months ago

Sorry, is that... esc... then : then q and ! or did I get the order wrong? Can't I just ctrl+o ctrl+x?

Obligatory boo and/or hiss

I've also been meaning to give emacs a try but haven't found the time or energy to figure out how to exit vim

I'm just an emacs ... enjoyer (...?) and I just don't understand the post. I'm pretty sure buffers here refer to something different from emacs buffers as they're completely unrelated to clipboards. Then from a quick scan of the plug-in mentioned it seems to mimic the clipboard ring emacs has had for many decades (always?).

Basically I have no idea what's going on here.

What would an operating system need yank registers for? Maybe if you get a good text editor to go with it, like Evil Mode 😉
