If I interract with another program before I change to Emacs and do C-y,
I'd
say close to 100%.
If that's true for most users, this proposed feature is likely to be
inconvenient. It will be pulling in lots of selections from other
apps.
The point is to have a way to pull in the selection from some other
program even after you've done a kill command in Emacs. This way
seems not to be a good idea, so what else can we suggest?
We could create a special command that says "yank the selection".
That would require remembering something special. Is there any other
natural combination that doesn't currently make sense?
Here's an idea. M-y after a command that isn't a yank
could grab the selection from other programs. Or maybe C-u M-y,
which would be less likely to be typed by accident.
