How to delete line(s) below current line in vim?

Is there a command to delete a line (or several lines) that is immediately below current line? Currently I'm doing it as: jdd and then . to repeat as needed. Is there a command that would combine all these?

UPDATE: The reason I would like to have such command is that I don't like to move away from current position, yet be able to delete lines below.

The delete ex command will work nicely.

:+,$d

This will delete all the lines from current +1 till the end ($)

To delete the next 2 lines the follow range would work, +1,+2 or shorthand +,+2

:+,+2d

As @ib mentioned the :delete or :d command will move the cursor to the start of the line next to the deleted text. (Even with nostartofline set). To overcome this we can issue the `` normal mode command. `` will jump back to the exact position before the last jump, in this case the :d command. Our command is now

:+,+2denter``

Or as one ex command

:+,+2d|norm! ``

To make this easier we wrap this all up in a command:

command! -count=1 -register D :+,+<count>d <reg><bar>norm! ``

Now to delete the next following 3 lines:

:3D

This command can also take a {reg} like :delete and :yank do. So deleting the next 4 lines into register a would be:

:4D a

For more information

:h :d
:h :command
:h :command-register
:h :command-count
:h ``

dG should work.
This means delete all rows until end of file from current cursor.

This will delete ALL lines below the current one:

jdG

Unfortunately that will move the cursor to the beginning of current line after the deletion is made.

well, to do it simply you could use the xxdd command. Most of the time I know (at least have an idea) the size of the script I am editing. So, the command as below is usually more than enough :

• 99dd
• 999dd to remove 999lines starting at the cursor position.
• 9999dd
• 99999dd for very long script ;)
