So why is emodendroket referring to ctrl-w then?

  In other words ctrl-w is "kill," which is what most people would think of as "cut," and ctrl-y is "yank," which is what most people would think of as "paste."

    And Vimmers would think of yank as copy or kill save

      That's funny. Never thought about that. I guess Emacs people think of it as yanking from the clipboard to the document, and Vim people think of it as yanking from the document into the clipboard.
