Subject: [PATCH] lisp/bindings.el: Bind (yank-pop -1) to M-Y
Date: Tue, 6 Sep 2016 15:28:40 +0200

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

It's extremely useful to be able to traverse the kill ring in both
directions, especially when there's many entries in it.

M-Y was the most intuitive binding for this to me, but one
could also argue in favor of C-M-y.
