The behaviour is a bit tricky to explain:
|
||
|
|
* kill text after the cursor
|
||
|
|
* since the kill command **wants** text, it blindly adds a fake text "#" here
|
||
|
|
* kill text before the cursor
|
||
|
|
* since the kill command **wants** text, it blindly adds a fake text "#" here, too
|
||
|
|
* write out ''"$(xclip -o -selection c)"''
|
||
|
|
* run Control-Meta-e (shell-expand-line) to expand the ''"$(xclip -o -selection c)"''
|
||
|
|
* yank the previously killed text back where it belongs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course you can use any other command, you're not limited to ''xclip'' here.

Note: C-@ as well as M-SPC both works and set the mark for me -- pgas
