Another way to kill the same text is to move back two words with
@kbd{M-b M-b}, then kill all four words forward with @kbd{C-u M-d}.
then deactivates the mark. Delete Selection mode, a minor mode,
modifies this behavior: if you enable that mode, then inserting text
while the mark is active causes the text in the region to be deleted
-first. Also, commands that normally delete just one character, such
-as @kbd{C-d} or @kbd{@key{DEL}}, will delete the entire region
-instead. To toggle Delete Selection mode on or off, type @kbd{M-x

When Delete Selection mode is enabled, typed text replaces the selection
