kill whole line shortcut

[ndr-brt]

Would be useful to define a shortcut to kill all the line where the cursor is. At the moment there's the kill-line (C-k), but it requires to many digits to accomplish the task.

The keybind could be C-S-k.

Hmm but C-k only requires two keys whereas C-S-k requires three?

Yes, but C-k kills a line from the cursor to the end of the line (\n excluded), I wanted a command like the dd in VI, where the current line is deleted completely (\n included)

I did some researches/explorations about that and I learned that:

• The emacs keybind for kill-whole-line seems to be C-S-Backspace, not C-S-k
• It's not that easy to catch C-S events on ncurses (as you said in #22 )

Enabling logs, I noticed that the C-S-Backspace combination generates an EventCharacter '\b', that's generated also with C-Backspace, so maybe that could be our shortcut to remove a line.

Other information, C-S-Backspace, C-Backspace and C-h launch the same event (ord == 8)

FWIW, I use ctrl-a ctrl-k for this
