Moving around the death ring in emacs

Question

Consider the following situation: N elements in the annihilation ring. The required item to draw is item #k

Solving the numerical arguments will not actually be done, since counting or tracking things in the kill ring is annoying.

Answer 1

What is the actual question? What is wrong with pressing Cy and then My k-times?

Answer 2

Try the browse-kill-ring+.el script or other solutions in the EmacsWiki .

Answer 3

Use Icicles with the key C-- Cy , i.e. the negative prefix arg to Cy . This ends up against entries in the kill-ring , allowing you to choose yanks (kill) to insert. This is a multi-command , which means you can pull as many candidates as you want with one C-Cy .

When you execute the kill-ring command, you can also selectively clear the ring by deleting entries on the fly. And you can sort complete (possible Yankees) in various ways. And you can enter several templates that must match the candidates for completion, in an arbitrary sort order ( progressive completion ).
