delete lines completely

[ousia]

Thanks to @rgieseke in #210, I can delete a complete line with:

keys['ctrl+k'] = function() 
  buffer.del_line_right()
  buffer.del_line_left()
end

But now I realize that I need to remove also the final character for a new line (regexp \n).

And I also need that if I select more than a line, I can remove all selected lines. Right now, only the last line is removed.

Which is the right way to do this?

Many thanks for your help.

If I understand correctly what you’re looking for, I did it with: keys['cmd+d'] = function() buffer.line_delete() end

This was partly what I intended, but my explanation was crappy.

keys['ctrl+k'] = function( )
  buffer.clear()
  buffer.line_delete()
end

I wanted to completely remove multiple selected lines.

This may be scary code, but it does the trick.

Many thanks for your help.
