- Yes, this is what the Atari guidelines *should* have looked like.
- (BTW, only Control + Delete is different in the guidelines).
- Unfortunately, Atari don't understand the value of an orthogonal design
- (easier to remember). There are plenty of other codes for delete line,
- such as ^Y (Pure C, cut line), Shift ^Y (could stand for delete line)
- or F8 (Tempus and GFA stuff).
-
- Perhaps we could do:
-
- Shift + Delete: Delete all that is right to cursor
- Shift + Control + Delete: Delete Line
-
- Disadvantage: people who manage to accidentally hit Control + A will
- probably accidentally hit Alt + Control + Delete... instead.
