Point: beginning of line 1
Target buffer:
SNIPPET
==
SNIPPET
==
SNIPPET
==
SNIPPET
## Task
Copy the line
SNIPPET into a register once, then replace each ^^ with the register's contents at all three positions.## Rules
- Everything is allowed: vanilla Emacs, Evil, Meow, packages, macros, Elisp, custom keybindings, external tools.
- The result must match the target exactly. Correctness beats brevity.
- One key event per stroke: a chord such as
C-a counts as one stroke.- Disclose any setup, packages, macros, or custom commands your solution requires.
- Count execution keystrokes, not the time you spent configuring Emacs.
## How to submit

Setup:
Explanation:
The goal isn't to prove one editing style is superior. It's to discover how many different ways Emacs can solve the same problem.
