For the last 7-8 weeks I've been trying to retrain myself to not use 
ctrl-k/ctrl-y.  Apparently it cannot be done.  I've spent more time 
undoing the crazy results of ctrl-k followed by ctrl-y than I care to 
talk about.

I've tried the macro route, and I now understand that macros have their 
own clipboards, which explains why the text that I cut inside the macro 
just dissappears forever.

As suggested by someone on this list earlier (back in November), I've 
created a macro to select to end of line, followed by a command that 
cats the selected text into a temp file, and I've put both of those 
little commands inside yet another macro bound to ctrl-k.  I've bound 
ctrl-y to a macro that cats the file into the current buffer.  The 
problem with this approach is that now ctrl-k / ctrl-y have their own 
private little clipboard. so ctrl-y can't paste anything from the 
system clipboard or a 'regular' cut/paste.

Does anybody have a better solution to this problem yet?  I'm so happy 
with so many things about TextMate, and I have paid the license fee, 
but this morning I found myself trying out other editors again :-(

Thanks,

Brad
