however, that sounds, like a macro should be able to do that, because it's essentially just two steps: select from cursor to line end, cut
If that satisfies you, it's certainly a *much* simpler way of doing it.
The problem, at least for me, is that it's not how "real" ^k works. It has pretty specific behavior:
* It kills form the point to the end of the line, not consuming the newline. * UNLESS it's at the beginning of a blank line in which case it *does* consume the newline. * It appends consecutive kills to a buffer which can then all be yanked out at once with one key combo: ^y. * It uses, purposely, a separate kill buffer from the clipboard.
In order to get all of that functionality, which is what I'm used to, I had to do a bunch of crazy stuff with commands, tmp files, and macros.
So, this bundle is probably only for people who are really used to the standard ^k/^y behavior and haven't been able to train themselves to do it another way with TextMate.
