It seems to me there is a lot of VIM vocabulary that is very different from what is common on the desktop today. I don't know what yank means. I don't think I have a desktop app that has a yank function.
In most Unix systems you should be able to go to the beginning of a line, press Ctrl-k and then Ctrl-y to yank. At the very least your browser and terminal should understand those two commands.
