avy-copy-line should not paste

[pyluyten]

i assumed avy-copy-line did allow to copy as kill a line, but not pasting it anywhere. So if i need to paste an Emacs row to another app i do not need to move in Emacs.

So instead avy-copy-line does paste. For example there could be two func

• avy-copy-line-as-kill
• avy-copy-line-and-paste ( alias avy-copy-line if useful)

For any one ended up here by searching "avy copy without paste", you can use lyjdwh/avy-thing-edit: add avy-jump to thing-edit.

• avy-thing-copy-line/word/sexp/ and many more:

First you type a letter to locate the text object, just like what avy does normally, then it will copy as kill.

For me, this is particularly useful in Eshell when you need to copy the output of the last command without leaving the input area.
