Signature

(menu-bar-kill-ring-save BEG END &optional REGION)

Documentation

Save the region as if killed, but don't kill it.

In Transient Mark mode, deactivate the mark. If interprogram-cut-function is non-nil, also save the text for a window system cut and paste.

If you want to append the killed region to the last killed text, use C-M-w (append-next-kill) before M-w (kill-ring-save).

The copied text is filtered by filter-buffer-substring before it is saved in the kill ring, so the actual saved text might be different from what was in the buffer.

When called from Lisp, save in the kill ring the stretch of text between BEG and END, unless the optional argument REGION is non-nil, in which case ignore BEG and END, and save the current region instead.

This command is similar to copy-region-as-kill, except that it gives visual feedback indicating the extent of the region being copied.
