You're confusing i_CTRL-R & c_CTRL-R_CTRL-W

The help on the first one talks about its use in insert-mode ("i")
and the second one is about the particular sub-use in the
command-line ("c").

I don't know of anything easy (out-of-the-box) that gets the
*remainder* of the line. It's pretty straight forward to get the
*entire* line using the expression register:

<c-r>=getline('.')<cr>

You can get fairly close to what you want with

:cnoremap <f3> <c-r>=getline('.')[col('.'):]<cr>

which will insert the contents of the current line from the cursor to
the end. You'd have to do some fancier twiddling to get the
entire current word through the end of the line.
