Description Thomas Singer CLA 2004-12-07 04:44:49 EST 
Ctrl-X/Ctrl-C in the text-editor should cut/copy the current line, when nothing
is selected.
Comment 1 Dani Megert CLA 2004-12-07 06:28:03 EST 
We will not modify the behavior of Cut and Copy but there's already a "Cut Line"
command that is not bound to a key sequence. You can bind it via Keys preference
page (Text Editing category).

In the future we might also provide a Copy Line command. This is covered by bug
23625.

Thanks for the hint. Unfortunately I cannot find it. Maybe you also should make
it much easier to find some commands in the key-mappings-panel.
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2004-12-07 08:18:50 EST 
1. open prefs using Window > Preferences
2. navigate to keys via Workbench > Keys
3. click on the Modify tab
4. select "Text Editing" from the Category drop down
5. select "Cut Line" from the Name drop down

Agree. I think there's already a bug for this in Platform UI.

Sorry for the extremely late feed-back:

Cut Line does NOT behave as expected by me (or any other IDEA-user):

- if no text is selected, it works OK -> the current line is cut
- if text is selected, it just delete the first selected line instead of the expected text

It is no duplicate - please reread.

> It is no duplicate - please reread.

Well, yes and no. The problem you mention in comment 4 is a dup (or at least fixed along with) bug 60177. And the copy issue is a duplicate of bug 23625. Bugzilla doesn't allow me to mark a bug as dup of more than one.

So, I can either close this as dup of one of those two bugs or as INVALID. You to choose ;-).

I've looked at this bug and bug 23625 again and they are really the same. No clue why you reopened it in the first place 4.5 years ago.
