We could do C-k C-/, but that seems like overkill, especially as it goes thru the whole deal of marking the file as modified first, etc. We could do C-x C-q C-k C-x C-q but still that will ring a bell or flash, like I did something wrong. We could do C-SPC C-e M-w C-a, the current "family values wholesome approved for junior" way, but that is still way longer than C-k C-/. Did RMS play "twister" as a youngster? With the fingers instead of feet? It would be nice to have another kind of C-k, yes, one little keystroke, that wouldn't rip up your file just to get lines into the kill ring. Indeed, what is needed is the same action as C-x C-q C-k... but without the "stigma" and bells and flashes that one is causing an "error", and without having to append a C-x C-q after one is done to resume normal editing. -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
