title: Emacs: how to delete text without kill ring?
body: <p>I'd like to just delete some text so I can yank some other text <strong>instead</strong> of it. How can I do that? C-w cuts the selected text to kill ring and I end up without the text I wanted to yank.</p>
  
  <p>Also, is it possible to yank text directly <strong>instead</strong> of some text without even pressing buttons to kill it?</p>
