Am I missing something here? My C-k does a kill to end of line if not at
col 1 and a kill to end of line + newline if at line beginning.
Seems natural to me. Why change it?
It lets you bang on the C-k key from col 1 to delete blocks of text. If
you're in the middle of a line, you usually only want to kill to the end
(such as when you have an end of line that looks like this: )]]}{
because you have mega autocomplete on, but you keep typing the closing
character anyway because that's what your hands are trained to do after
13 years in this business. :-) )
