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
