Source Intelligence

DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Kill Ring Yank Cycling (Meta-y)

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.
