ctrl+g is pretty nice ... it's the help screen ... |
| 9 |
but basically the answer is 'no' ... there is a 'work around' though if you |
| 10 |
dont mind a few key strokes ... just dont use it do delete 'a' :) |

^ = ctrl, M = meta (alt key) |
| 13 |
this is from the help (^G): |
| 14 |
^Space: advance a word |
| 15 |
M-Space: go back a word |
| 16 |
^^ (M-A): set mark |
| 17 |
^K: cut a line (or cut currently marked) |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
so, if we do this: |
| 20 |
meta+A (to set mark), meta+space (go back a word), ctrl+k (cut the marked |
| 21 |
text), we just nuked it ... |
| 22 |
problem (i think) is doing meta, meta, ctrl ... switching that finger in mid |
| 23 |
stroke is the sucks :( |
| 24 |
unfortunately, meta+k is already bound to enabling/disabling cutting of the |
| 25 |
newline when doing just ^k |
