Delete a line in Visual Studio without copying it?

Solution 1:

By default, if you are using the C# default profile, you can delete a line using Ctrl + Shift + L.

You can customize this using Tools->Customize. Select "Keyboard". Look for the command Edit.LineDelete to assign it to whichever keyboard shortcut you like.

Solution 2:

If you got here looking for an answer for Visual Studio Code the default shortcut is:

ctrl + shift + K for Windows

⌘ + shift + K for MacOS

However, you can change on File > Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+delete",
    "command": "editor.action.deleteLines",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
}

Solution 3:

Ctrl + Shift + K 

will work fine for both Windows and Linux.

Solution 4:

Go to tools -> options. Tab Environment -> subtab Keyboard.

Select Edit.LineDelete. Assign a shortcut. Thats it. I use Alt + D.
