Delete current parenthese-block

Delete current parenthese-block

[TheLonelyStar]

Hi,

I am not sure how to call it.  I am looking for a function which deletes the
paranthese-block point is currently in.
With paranthese-block, I mean something like this:

(Text Stuff)

or

{
a line
}

or

[ Text Stuff ]

Does something like this exist?

Thanks!
Nathan

Hit C-M-u (backward-up-list) until you get to the start of the block,  
then C-M-k (kill-sexp) to kill it.

First, locate the left ( { or [
then, M-x kill-sexp

It's bound to C-M-k by default. One can mark such expression with
C-M-SPC (mark-sexp).
