[TextMate] Yank not working

I just downloaded TextMate and am pretty happy with it. Since it is a Cocoa app, all of the standard MacOSX key bindings come with it! I've used emacs as a text editor for years and can't break away from the basic editing commands.

I created my own TextMate keybinding file, as noted in the help section, and resolved an issue with '^f' not being bound to 'move cursor forward'. The only other thing that I can't seem to figure out is '^y'. When used with '^k' I should be able to 'kill' to the end of a line, then 'yank' that text out of the kill ring. It's a quick and dirty cut-and-paste option that's very much ingrained. I can't find any key bindings that override this behavior, but it doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas?
