    Hey man, would you be willing to add some simple editing features like Ctrl-Y to delete a whole line?

    SlyEdit already has that feature (and has had that since the beginning). You can delete a line using Ctrl-D.

    oh yeah that would be nice.

    SlyEdit can already delete a line using Ctrl-D. SlyEdit has always been able to do so.

    Yes, but I think the point he was making is that CTRL Y is the standard from the old WordStar days.

    I don't think the key combination really matters, does it? Is there any
    reason why Ctrl-Y would be better than Ctrl-D for deleting a line?

    My goal with SlyEdit wasn't to model it after WordStar anyway.. Actually I've never used WordStar, so I have no basis for modeling SlyEdit after that.

    oh i never really looked at the help section. ctrl+y was always a command
    i'm used to using for nuking a line. i guess if i am that picky i can change it.

    Ctrl-D made sense to me when I first started working on SlyEdit (D for Delete)..

    Maybe add ctrl-y as an option seeing as how it doesn't do anything at the moment? Only reason not too I guess would be if you're planning to implement Undo/Redo, in which case, carry on.

    Never occured to me to try Ctrl-D, just tried Ctrl-Y, it didn't work so I went back to manual deletion. Nice now that I know about it.

    Why not just use Ctrl-D? I don't really see the point in adding a 2nd CTRL key combination for an existing feature.

    Perhaps you could make it a config option, in an INI file or something, so that sysops (or even users) could customize their keybindings. The help screen would need to be generated based on the current configuration, but otherwise I don't imagine it would be that much work.

    That could be done.. But I think that would create confusion among users who use SlyEdit, as different BBSes might have different key bindings for SlyEdit. I think that would create a bad user experience - especially since SlyEdit has already been out for 4 years and people are used to it.

    This is why it would probably be better as a per-user rather than a BBS-wide configuration. (I'm fine without it.)

    it was a SUGGESTION, I see ya putting in such amazing features into (IMHO) one of the best BBS addons being developed these days, and I just THOUGHT you might like an idea to IMPROVE an already AMAZING editor.

    You don't have to use my SUGGESTION, and I don't have a problem using Ctrl-D if that's all there is, but I may see if I can change it for shits and giggles. Dunno what your policy is on user mods...

    At any rate, keep up the amazing work.
