[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #132 keyboard shortcut for moving and deleting text

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

This is fixed now by implementing a *command-clear* binding bound to the new *endLineDelete* proc. Not entirely satisfactory though since laptops usually do not have a *forward-delete* (aka *Clear* or *Suppr*) key. Implementing a *cmd-fn-backward* binding is feasible but that would have to be done in the core as a special non-standard case, which I am reluctant to do. Using the new *endLineDelete* proc, you might create your own binding for this: for instance 
```
    binding create {cov delete} endLineDelete
```
which binds to `Option-Command-Delete` (this is *backward-delete*) .

Changes committed to the repository ([rev. 1327](http://sourceforge.net/p/alphacocoa/code/1327/)).

- alt-left or alt-right arrow: move one word backward / forward
- alt-backward or alt-fn-backward : delete one word backward / forward

- cmd-left or cmd-right arrow: move at the begining or the end of the line
- cmd-backward: delete up to the begining of the line
What about having the symetrical : cmd-fn-backward: for deleting up to the end of the line?
Maybe inconsistent with other keyboards convention...
