#401 Delete keys clobber the copy buffer in jmacs
In jmacs if you press backspace (or Ctrl+H) or Ctrl+D, the character just deleted is copied to the kill/yank buffer, clobbering what was in that buffer previously. This is unexpected and not how those keys work in GNU Emacs, JED, or MicroEMACS.
With jmacs, in regular usage it's possible to copy-and-delete a block of text with Ctrl+W, do some trivial editing (eg. fix a typo) then want to paste the previous copied block with Ctrl+Y, only to discover it's not in the kill/yank buffer any more!
Is there a way to fix this, turn off the behaviour, or a workaround? Thanks.
