CTRL-k: kill the line after the cursor, add to clipboard
CTRL-u: kill the line before the cursor, add to clipboard
The more emacsian way of saying that you removed a line segment from a buffer and put it on the clip-board is to say that you yank the line rather than you kill the line.
- Orangeair 9y agoNow I'm just confused. I thought that C-k stood for kill, and C-y stood for yank. So you kill the text, which... puts it into the dead buffer? And then yank it from the dead buffer? I've never really understood this.
- dustfinger 9y agoI stand corrected. I just looked at the documentation for C-K and it says: C-K runs the command kill-visual-line..." C-Y says: C-y runs the command yank...
- coldtea 9y agoOr C-y is just yank, where C-k is kill AND yank (so like copy vs cut).
