[Idle-dev] C-k and C-y keybinding

[David MacKay]

Hello, a newbie question - 
I have selected the "unix-like" keybinding. 
I love to move or duplicate text by 
using C-k (C-k C-k ...)
then using C-y (C-y).

But in IDLE with unix-like keybinding, 
C-k successfully kills the line, but does not put it into 
the cut-buffer, so C-y does not retrieve the killed object.

How can I modify IDLE to that C-k is the correct "kill and 
put in the cut/paste buffer"?

-- And another question:   I see that "C-w" is "cut"; 
but how can I create and extend the region to be cut, using 
just the keyboard?  In emacs, we use C-SPACE then C-w 
to set mark and cut region.   Is there an equivalent to 
C-SPACE in idle? 

Thanks very much
