3.4 The Cutbuffer
=================
Text can be cut from a file a whole line at a time with ‘^K’. The cut
line is stored in the cutbuffer. Consecutive strokes of ‘^K’ will add
each cut line to this buffer, but a ‘^K’ after any other keystroke will
overwrite the entire cutbuffer.
The contents of the cutbuffer can be pasted at the current cursor
position with ‘^U’.
A line of text can be copied into the cutbuffer (without cutting it)
with ‘M-6’.
