    <p>it is said in the manual that if you use kill-region sequentially, the texts you kill will be concatenated into one in the kill-ring.<br> I'm just confused how this works. So I tried to eval this in the <em>scratch</em> buffer: </p> <pre><code>(progn (kill-region 1 5) ; this kills ";; T" (kill-region 1 5)); this kills "his " </code></pre> <p>what I expect is that, since I use kill-region 2 times, the killed texts should be concatenated as one in the kill-ring.<br> but when I use C-y, I get only "his ".<br> So I have 2 questions here: </p> <ul> <li><p>in lisp, how to invoke kill-region several times so that the killed texts are concatenated? </p></li> <li><p>using keyboard C-w, how to invoke kill-region several times so that the killed texts are concatenated? since the typical workflow is kill-region(C-w), then move-cursor, then kill-region again. </p></li> </ul> <p>here is the doc string of kill region. isn't the 2nd paragraph and the last paragraph contradictory? </p> <pre><code>"Kill (\"cut\") text between point and mark. This deletes the text from the buffer and saves it in the kill ring. The command \\[yank] can retrieve it from there. \(If you want to save the region without killing it, use \\[kill-ring-save].) If you want to append the killed region to the last killed text, use \\[append-next-kill] before \\[kill-region]. If the buffer is read-only, Emacs will beep and refrain from deleting the text, but put the text in the kill ring anyway. This means that you can use the killing commands to copy text from a read-only buffer. Lisp programs should use this function for killing text. (To delete text, use `delete-region'.) Supply two arguments, character positions indicating the stretch of text to be killed. Any command that calls this function is a \"kill command\". If the previous command was also a kill command, the text killed this time appends to the text killed last time to make one entry in the kill ring." </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
