TIL: Cmd+Shift+Delete

I use Cmd-Shift all the time to highlight from cursor to beginning or end of a line. Also use Opt+Shift for word highlighting. Today I learned if you do Cmd+Shift+Delete, it will just remove from the cursor to the beginning of the line! Of course, I tested and Cmd+Opt+Del will delete the word to the left of the cursor.

Anyway, brain got a tiny bit bigger today.

⌘ Opt Del doesn't do anything on my M2 MBA. ⌘ Shift Delete does the same as ⌘ Delete. The shift isn't needed.

If you're wondering how I'm typing it, text replacement ;)

Like how I do .

Yep, for me that shortcut trigger is AAPL. Since I never disucss the stocks (nor am I a shareholder), using the company's stock ticker abbreviation is an easy way to remember it.

My problem is that I learn one of these, get excited for a game changer, then forget the combo next time I need it

More often than not I’m the same way!

You only need to remember that you can combine alt and shift with cursor arrows, delete, and backspace. Experiment in a text Editor and see what’s possible.
