How do I make Notepad++ delete lines like Eclipse does?

Eclipse has a keyboard shortcut which deletes either the current line (if nothing is selected) or all lines which are part of the currently selected text: Ctrl+D.

Is there a way to make Ctrl+D do the same thing in Notepad++?

The best I could do is remap the shortcut to Scintilla's SCI_LINE_DELETE, but that only deletes one line at a time, even if the selection spans multiple lines.

Solution 1:

Ctrl + Shift + L will achieve the same effect.

Ctrl + L will delete the line but will also keep it in your clipboard replacing clipboard contents.

I'm not sure if you can map Ctrl+D to do the same thing or not. I've not really messed with the keyboard mappings with Notepad++ since they are very similar to those of Visual Studio

Solution 2:

I had to map Ctrl+D to both SCI_LINEDELETE and SCI_LINECUT in order to make it behave like Eclipse. Hope this is helpful.

You also need to disable or rebind SCI_SELECTIONDUPLICATE so there's no conflict on Ctrl+D.
To disable a shortcut, highlight it, click Modify set the DropDownList to None, click Apply first and then Okay.
