This might sound silly, but what is the keyboard shortcut to delete current line in IDE?
Scintilla's standard "line-delete" combination (Ctrl+Shift+L) does nothing and Ctrl+Shift-Del only erase from cursor position to EOL, not the whole line.

Thanks!

Come on folks! Nobody knows the keyboard shortcut that deletes current line?
BTW Ctrl-Shift-L is Scintilla's standard "delete-line" shortcut but doesn't work in Purebasic IDE. Shouldn't this be considered as a bug?

I don't think there is one. What's so hard about [End], then [Shift+Home], then [Del] ?

Three keystrokes instead one. :wink:
I'm wondering why they needed to disable Scintilla's standard shortcut (Ctrl-Shift-L). Honestly, I have never seen any IDE or programmers editor that doesn't provide a "delete-line" keyboard command.

Scintilla <> SciTE <> Purebasic IDE.
The PB IDE defines its own shortcuts : Menu -> File -> Preferences -> General / Shortcuts

Powerbasic IDE uses Scintilla and inherits all its editing shortcuts except this one.

Great, but I don's see any "delete-line" shortcut there. Do you?

Ctrl+Shift+L is also three keystrokes. ;)

Of course you're right! My poor and rusty English! :D
Three keystrokes but a single shortcut action! Better now?

Better, but still two shortcuts action and still don't delete the emptied line. Now we have to wait for fred to make them one in next pb update. :lol:
I'm sure he understands that "delete-current-line" is much more useful and common function than the ...Ascii table which already has a dedicated keyboard shortcut.

I thoroughly agree an IDE should strive to eliminate or reduce repetitive keystrokes :evil:

I can duplicate a line or several lines with [Ctrl+D].
But why isn't [Ctrl+L] an equivalent to cut or delete :(
Yes, I know [Ctrl+L] = goto last line, but that is almost useless since it is not directional and does not span different tabs.

Instead of [Ctrl+L] I have to:
[Home] + [Home] + [Shift + Down x nLines] + [Delete] :evil:
Or:
LMClick the Line Numbers + [Delete]

Jeesh... :(

What do you mean? It goes both backwards and forwards for me.
