Problem

Eclipse has a keyboard shortcut which deletes either the current line (if nothing is selected) or all lines which are part of the currently selected text: Ctrl+D. Is there a way to make Ctrl+D do the same thing in Notepad++? The best I could do is remap the shortcut to Scintilla's , but that only deletes one line at a time, even if the selection spans multiple lines.

Fix for: How do I make Notepad++ delete lines like Eclipse does?

Low Risk

Ctrl + Shift + L will achieve the same effect. Ctrl + L will delete the line but will also keep it in your clipboard replacing clipboard contents. I'm not sure if you can map Ctrl+D to do the same thing or not. I've not really messed with the keyboard mappings with Notepad++ since they are very similar to those of Visual Studio
