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.
