This function works like
deleol
, i.E. it kills all characters from the
current cursor position to the end of the line, but if issued in an empty
line, it removes that line. This is just what pressing
Ctrl-K does in the GNU Emacs editor.

killword
, pre-bound to: Ctrl-T
-
Deletes all characters from the current cursor position to the end of the
current word.
- Function:
undel
, pre-bound to: Ctrl-U
-
This is a rather limited undelete function. It will restore lines that have
previously been killed with the
delline
function. It will not
restore single charactres that have been killed with del
,
deleol
, killword
, emacskill
or similar functions.
- Function:
zap
, pre-bound to: Alt-L
-
This function is useful when using the quoted reply features. It will kill
all lines below the current cursor position that only contain quoted text
(these will usually be highlighted in a different color) until the next
unquoted line. This is useful to easily kill quoted signature text etc. Use
this to reduce the number of unnecessary quoted lines in your mails!
