How to delete a line using a shortcut in Gedit?

  • 772

Is there any shortcut for it?

If not is it possible to set a key for this operation?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

gedit

  1. yes you can using Ctrl + D as you can see in this page under the Shortcut keys for editing files: Gedit shortcut keys

  2. Yes. Position the cursor anywhere on the line you wish to delete and hit CTRL+D.

    Apparently the shortcut is simply built-in into Gedit. I can't find an easy way to change it; apparently that's technically not possible [anymore], or at least not easily.

  3. Have a look here

    It is Delete the current line: CTRL+D.

  4. For anything related to text in general:

    Use Home to put the cursor at the beginning of the line then Shift+End+backspace

    Similarly you can set the cursor at the end using End then Shift+Home+backspace
