I don't know about vi, but there are several ways it could be done in EMACS.
And in Hemlock, an EMACS-family editor built into Spice Lisp, one can point
and click using the puck or type keyboard commands as one prefers.

Compared to Gosling EMACS or GNU EMACS?  Programmability is a big win...

The Kill buffer in EMACS is analogous to the Macintosh clipboard in that text
that is placed into it may be yanked ("pasted") several times.  Some versions
of EMACS even have kill rings (translation: multiple Clipboards).
