is there a way or an idiom for killing a region without changing the kill ring. I often want to cut several different regions by highlighting them, but then insert a particular thing with C-Y. If I use C-W to kill the region C-Y will yank back the string I just killed rather than the one I want. It would be nice to have a version of C-W which does not effect the kill-ring.
Doesn't selecting the text and using <backspace> do exactly that? By the way, as Tomás suggested, I think that you are better off always killing the region and then using M-y. You never know if you will actually change your mind and use the text you deleted. For an improved version of M-y, try:
