killring as registers

[Thomas Meyer]

hi,

i'm relativley new to emacs and half way through the manual, and i
wonder if there is an easy way to access old killring content? i would
like to use the killring as an "clipboard history" but as far as i
understand the topic there seems to be no good support, i.e. key binding
to search the killring and access old content.

so, is there an extension that lets me access the last 10 killring
entries as registers 0-9? that would make it a bit better for usage?

or asked the other way around: how do you use the killring and its
history?

with kind regards
thomas
