Shortcut to delete a line using keyboard, not mouse?

Questions

I am looking for a shortcut, or a keyboard stroke, to delete a complete line of evaluation.

To make my self clear - when clicking with my mouse on the right-edge of the notebook window, the whole line is selected, so when hitting Delete on my keyboard, the line disappears.

I am looking for a way to do this without leaving my fingers from the keyboard and reaching for the mouse. Is there any?

Thanks.

Ehud,

Depending on what you want, on a Mac you can up arrow to get to the line you want and do “select all” (Cmd-A) and hit delete. This will remove the input and the associated output line. If you want to delete one but not the other, up arrow to the line and hit “extend selection” (Ctl-.) until the line is selected and hit delete. On a PC you can use those keyboard shortcuts (look in the Edit menu to find them)

EDIT: “extend selection” is (Ctl-.), the original post had a typo.

Thank you for your answer.

I don’t understand the Cmd-Ctl-' you mentioned. What do you mean by '?

After looking at the documentation for “Notebook Shortcuts”, I found Shift+Cmd+{ to do the job. Is that right?

Ehud,

The command is “extend selection” but I had the shortcut wrong. It’s Ctl-. (Control-period).
