-Unexpectedly, while "D" deletes from the cursor to the end of the line, "Y"

+"Y" was originally equivalent to "yank the entire line", as opposed to "D"
+which is "delete to end of the line". "Y" has thus been remapped to mean
+"yank to end of the line" to make it consistent with the behavior of "D".
+Mappings will be covered in later chapters.
