2.3.1 Copying Text
To copy text, mark a region, then press M-w (for kill-ring-save; the toolbar icon with two pieces of paper also runs this command). Move the cursor to the place where you want to insert the copied text and press C-y. Copying text is exactly the same as killing it, except that Emacs doesn't delete anything. The text you have copied is placed in the kill ring, so you can use C-y to access it as often as you like.
One advantage to M-w is that it works on read-only files and buffers. For example, if you wanted to create a file of Emacs hints, you could use M-w to copy some text from online help into one of your buffers.
Here are the steps for some common deletion tasks.
To mark a region:
1. Move the cursor to the beginning of the area you want to delete.
2. Press C-Space. Emacs displays the message Mark set.
3. Move the cursor to the end of the region you want to delete.
To delete a region:
1. Mark the region to be deleted.
2. Press C-w to delete the region.
To move text:
1. Delete the text you want to move using the procedures for marking and deleting a region.
2. Move the cursor where you want to insert the text.
3. Press C-y. Emacs inserts the text you deleted.
To copy text:
1. Mark the region you want to copy.
2. Press M-w to copy the text.
3. Move the cursor where you want to insert the copied text and press C-y. Emacs inserts the text you copied.
