My normal IDE is Visual Studio, but I'm currently doing some development in Eclipse for the first time. If you press Ctrl-X with text selected in either program, it cuts the text and puts on the clipboard exactly as you'd expect. If press Ctrl-X with no text selected in Visual Studio, it cuts the current line. In Eclipse it is ignored. Is there a way to get Eclipse to use Studio's behavior?

I haven't found a way to make Ctrl+X context sensitive, but I did find that you can bind a key to the "Cut Line" command by going to the Window -> Preferences -> General -> Keys dialog. Unfortunately this always cuts the entire line, even when you have only part of it selected. Maybe binding another key to this command will work for you?
