When I implemented the kill buffer, I had a kill ring in mind. But I don't really use kill rings much in emacs, so I just did the basic version. But it wouldn't be hard to change it to be a stack instead of a single string. See:

julia/base/LineEdit.jl

Line 23 in 13c6917

kill_buffer::ByteString

So the first two bullets should be very simple to implement. And the third is just a matter of adding the methods.

I think points four and five will be much more challenging, as they require more state.

Thanks @mbauman for your insight, it will help get started. I very often use the kill ring in terminal repl apps (and emacs), and also word transposition which I forgot to add to the list.

REPL/LineEdit to support "undo": part of JuliaLang#8447
dd44b25 
The REPL now supports undo via Ctrl-^ or Ctrl-_.

This should very closely minic the behavior of other readline/emacs
shells, except it doesn't let the user goto a historical entry (A),
edit it, goto a different historical entry (B), return to the first
(A) and undo the edits.

REPL: implement a kill ring (fix part of #8447)
dc55d36 
After a yank ("^Y"), it's possible to "yank-pop" with
the "M-y" binding, which replaces the just-yanked text
with an older entry from the "kill-ring".

Can finally be closed after 5 years :)
Of course, this doesn't mean that no more improvements are planned ;-)
