I want to delete a line just like hitting ctrl+x without anything selected, but without saving the line to the copy stack. Is this possible?
This is using Visual Studio 2010.

A:
Shift+Delete will completely delete the line that the cursor is on. No clipboard, nothing. It is of course undoable.

That's also cut, it seems.

A:
Edit.LineDelete is the name of the command. By default it's bound to CTRL-SHIFT-L, but you can give it whatever you like in Tools | Options | Keyboard.
Edit: Corrected default shortcut info.

LineDelete! Why did they have to name it backwards! It looks like in VS2010 it is bound by default to `Ctrl + Shift + L`, though.

@JChristian: You could have just searched for "line" or "delete" and gotten to it. :)

@musicfreak, when I first sought this command, I typed "Line.Delete" and looked for what was there (this command is omitted when you search in that fashion). The *terrible* UI only allows me to see 4 results at a time (for me, contrary to that screen shot in the other answer.) which makes it a real pain.

@musicfreak, I did search for "line" and "delete". But with so many results returned from those searches, it makes it very difficult to locate.

@JChristian: Fair enough. :) They definitely could've made that interface a lot more user-friendly.

@nathan_hc, that actually performs a **cut**, which pollutes the clipboard. (Try it yourself and paste after using CTRL-L)

A:
I mapped Ctrl+L (Global) to Edit.LineDelete. Otherwise, the shortcut key is Ctrl+Shift+L, which is ackward. Go to Tools > Options > Keyboard as shown below.
