I love using TextWrangler for doing quick text editing from an FTP server, but I discovered that I hated not being able to delete a line. I normally use Eclipse for my dev work and have become addicted to using command-D to delete a line or several lines at a time. I googled around a bit and found anoved's suggestion on googlegroups and decided to implement it. It worked great! Here's a simple howto:
Open Applications->AppleScript->Script Editor
Paste this script into the new window:
tell application "TextWrangler"
tell text of text document 1
set a to startLine of selection
set b to endLine of selection
delete (lines a through b)
end tell
end tell
Save the script as (home dir)>Library>Applications>TextWrangler>Scripts>delete_line
You can open TextWrangler and check the scripts menu and make sure that it exists and works.
Open System Preferences>Keyboard & Mouse>Keyboard Shortcuts
Hit the plus sign
Set the application to TextWrangler the menu title to "delete_line" and the keyboard shortcut to command-D
That's it!
