Question

I’m testing out Aptana Studio to do some javascript development I want to know if there is a shortcut to delete a whole line. Or if there is a way to create some kind of macro to do it.

I am running windows, and I know that I can click Ctrl+Shift+Del but that doesn’t actually do what I want it to do. In VS when you click Shift+Del it doesn’t matter where the cursor is on the line it will delete the whole line.
To do the same in Aptana I need to:

1. Click Home to get me to the beginning of the line
2. Click Ctrl+Shift+Del to delete the content of the line
3. Click Ctrl+Shift+Del to delete the line

This may seem small, but I do this action all the time in VS and I’ve grown accustomed to it.

Anyone have any ideas to help me out?

Answer 1

I just figured it out:

It’s quite simple: Ctrl+D

Also if you want to change the key binding you can

1. Go to menu Window -> Preferences
2. Go to General -> Keys
3. Find Command ‘Delete Line’ and then bind it to your desired key combo(like Shift+Delete)
