ChangesSection of the release
What

Added Emacs-style yank cycling with Meta-y to rotate through killed text history.

Usage

After yanking with Ctrl-y, press Meta-y (Alt-y on most terminals) to cycle through previously killed text.

Details
  • Stores up to 10 killed text entries
  • Cycles through the kill ring each time Meta-y is pressed
  • Follows standard Emacs keybinding conventions
Evidence

BA() function at line 521106 (yank cycling handler, key mapping ["y", BA] in Meta handlers)

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
