Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
Sublime Text has these shortcut keys and I'd like to use them in micro too.
- To delete from the cursor position to the end of the line: Ctrl + K K (hold Ctrl and press K two times). I use this one a lot.
- Current work-around in
micro: Shift + Alt + RightArrow, then Backspace.
