Re: whole-line-or-region

[Francesco Potortì]

This is what I have had in my .emacs for years.  It is one of those
things that I miss most when using an Emacs that I have not yet
customised:

(defun kill-entire-line (n)
  "Kill ARG entire lines starting from the one where point is."
  (interactive "*p")
  (beginning-of-line)
  (kill-line n))
(global-set-key "\M-k" 'kill-entire-line)
