the «inverse» function of join-lines

[Uwe Brauer <oub@mat.ucm.es>]

Hi


I am not sure that the term inverse is here very appropriate, but I
can't come with another term.

Here is the problem. Suppose you have text like this 

             this is important blabla  
         but we also want

So I want to obtain 

             this is important blabla but we also want


The easiest way of doing it, is to put the cursor on b of but and run
joint-line (which is an alias for delete-indentation)


However most of the time my cursor is on a in blabla, if I then run
kill-line I obtain

             this is important blabla          but we also want

And I need to run delete-horizontal-space.

If I define 
(defun my-join-line-from-above ()
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (kill-line nil)
    (delete-horizontal-space nil)))

And use it I end up 
             this is important blablabut we also want

So I wonder is there a function that does what I want, and is a bit more
sophisticated then what I cooked up?

Thanks

Uwe Brauer
