It makes sense that jump actions ignore the target at the cursor, but for deletion it should not be ignored.

but `C-c SPACE w' is shorter and more convenient to use than `c-d c-w t m'. 获取 Outlook for Android On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 12:30 PM +0800, "oldpig" <notifications@github.com> wrote: It makes sense that jump actions ignore the target at the cursor, but for deletion it should not be ignored. — You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.

C-c SPACE w has slightly different semantics. It will modify the content of the clipboard. I agree that it can be a workaround in some(perhaps most) situations, while this issue is still valid.
