Yes, this is really confusing and frustrating, I have to reach for the mouse when otherwise dealing with an almost keyboard-only environment. Also the key combination is extremely confusing - C-y in almost every place in the world (including bash, emacs, dmenu) means paste, not copy. The cumulative time spent going back and re-copying is too damn high. K.
