It used to be – until Vimpulse implemented C-y in a vim-like way, i.e.
for copying character by character from one line above.  Which is a
useful feature in itself, which I wouldn't want to miss either.  But
OTOH I find Emacs's C-y plus subsequent M-y (yank-pop) extremely useful.
 I haven't seen a comparable feature in vim.  Now the only way of
getting C-y M-y in Vimpulse is going to command mode, then switching to
Emacs mode.  (Or is there a direct way to go from insert mode to Emacs
mode?)  It should be feasible to bind yank to something else than C-y
and less finger-friendly keys like S-insert – maybe to C-r <something>.
 M-y, which requires a yank before, is still unbound in Vimpulse, so you
could use it.

Cheers,

Christoph
