Delete a numbered line..

Roy Booth

I have a SQL file that is rather large im wondering is there a way to delete an entire line without the usual highlight and drag to top or bottom of that line…

Is there a way i can just type the LINE No and it deletes the entire line… ??

thanks in advance

@Roy-Booth ,

Use Ctrl+G to GoTo and enter the line number (you may have to choose Line rather than Pos the first time), then Ctrl+D to delete the line once you are on the line

If you go to Macro->Modify Shortcut/Delete Macro... from the main menu, then go to the Scintilla commands tab, you can choose the keybinding for SCI_LINEDELETE, which deletes the currently selected line. On my setup, SCI_LINEDELETE is bound to Ctrl+Shift+L, not Ctrl+D as indicated by PeterJones.

Sorry, I was going from memory, on my phone, ~~just before bed~~ after my computer was already off for the night. I guess I shouldn’t post that late in the evening for me. :-)

Bad plan. :-)
