Yeah; I know it's a contentious issue, but it seems to me like
ultimately the best solution would be to bite the bullet and change the
default binding of C-y (and M-y) in isearch to better match what people
expect (and add some other bi nding for the "grab rest of line"). The
traditional isearch bindings have been a consistent point of confusion
as long as I can remember (not just among newbies either).
I say this because I think the isearch meanings of C-y (etc), while
certainly not obscure, are in general less used than other bindings, and
more problematic in their current form, so it's thinkable to change them.
