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
