I tried Emacs and felt violated afterwards. Never looked at it again.

i like how vim handles x11's clipboard hell

"+p to paste the ctrl+c clipboard
"*p to paste the selection keyboard


dunno how emacs does it, but vim's registers are awesome

vim has a lot of registers (clipboards) in which you can put text. you select one with " followed by the name of the register. so e.g. "a would select that a register which you can then paste with p. some registers can only be read from, some (lots) are filled automatically.

read this and receive a little satori
