The penalty for clumsy fingers is way to high. I'd have to be carefule and assure that I set my fingers right in order to use this command -- which means that it would me more inconvenient and complicated than `C-a C-k C-k', so I won't use it. [C-S-, or still better: `C-S-k' is fine, IMO.] C-S- is probably safer than S-M-. C-S-k is more intuitive. However, are there people who actually use the Caps Lock key? Because C-S-k might give them trouble. Are there any objections against changing the binding of kill-whole-line from M-S- to C-S-? (To avoid people accidentally killing their X server by hitting the wrong key.) I could commit that change if there are no objections. Sincerely, Luc.
