Emacs already works this way. Text-deletion commands with “kill” in their name (e.g. kill-word, backward-kill-word, kill-line, kill-region) put the deleted text into the yank buffer, and CTRL/Y copies this text at the insertion point.

Basically, anything you might want to do, Emacs either already does it, or can be made to do it. ;)
