Further down, the manual says: `C-S-backspace' (`kill-whole-line') kills a whole line including its newline, regardless of the position of point within the line. Note that many text terminals will prevent you from typing the key sequence `C-S-backspace'. I'd rather not go hunting for a new key for this command, for the reason that Glenn gave.
