I would guess the most common partial yanks are:
yaw: yank the word the cursor is currently in2yaw: yank the word the cursor in currently in and the next (2 words total)ya(: yank the matched parentheses containing the cursoryf.: yank from the cursor to the next.y$: yank from the cursor to the end of the lineAny movement keys can be used.
