Small Cod Editor problem (OpenInsight 16-Bit Specific)

Typing a Control-Y deletes the current line,(yanks the line).
This is a facility in some editors, and is not a well known command.
Problem is that this is not registered by the Undo, so if you try a Control-Z to undo, it cannot do it.
Nice to fix it if possible, but as it is rarely used, no great problem if not.

Yes, but Word has multiple-undo levels, so this is necessary.
OI code editors only have one level so Control-Z for undo is just a toggle.

Colin,
Multiple undo-levels is indeed a useful feature, and it's a pity System Editor's undo is so primitive.
The reason for me mentioning Word's Ctrl+Y was that the latter might be much better known than the Ctrl+Y functionality you mention. Perhaps a better idea than teaching System Editor's Ctrl+Z to redo the yank would be to yank Ctrl+Y itself, which only serve to confuse the many accustomed to Word's Ctrl+Y.
What I do to delete the current line is to use
Home Shift+DownArrow Del
I agree it's a bit more work, but once you get accustomed to use the keyboard for navigating and selecting, it becomes second nature. And using the keyboard for navigating, selecting and cut/copy/paste is so much better than using the mouse.

Oystein ..
I agree wholeheartedly. When I'm typing, having to fiddle the mouse is a waste of time. Keyboard shortcuts are grand .. like pressing F9 to Save/Compile rather than mousing over to the compile button and clicking.

Don. Yeah. I'm just happy F9 doesn't mean anything dangerous in the other programs I use. - Oystein -
