Question

Which shortcut deletes the whole line where cursor is?

Answer 1

The keyboard shortcut to delete a line without copying the contents has eluded me far to long… There are a few answers here, but they need some clarification:

Ctrl+Shift+L

• Deletes the current line and does not copy the text (does not matter if anything is highlighted or not).

Ctrl+L

• Cuts the current line and copies it to your clipboard (does not matter if anything is highlighted or not). This would be the same thing as highlighting the entire line and then using Ctrl+X.

Shift+Delete

• If nothing is highlighted, then cuts the current line and copies it to your clipboard.
• If anything is highlighted, then cuts the highlighted text and copies it to your clipboard.

HTH’s someone.
