How to delete wrapped lines?

I imagined something like gdd and gD but they did not work as expected, in a similar fashion to gj and gk to move through wrapped lines.

It would be really useful to have a way to delete multi-lined wraps.

Ctrl+U in Insert Mode, doesn't help with that as well.

AFAIK there's no default mapping for this. You could make one for yourself though. I would be careful about mapping gdd or gD because gd and gD already have functions that are really useful. I'm going to use Alt+d just as a suggestion.

nnoremap <A-d> g^dg$g^

  • Thats right, I already mapped it myself :P but it was a workaround and it doesn't accept input numbers for range. Alts never work for me, and what are the pre-existing functions of gdd and gD though? :)

    I linked the documentation for you. :P But they find the local definition of the word under the cursor.

  • Btw I did noremap gD g^dg$g^ (and gdd too). I think d$ would delete until the end of the whole line.

    Good point, added.

    I think you should replace the last 0 with g^ too though, for the sake of wraps :P
