It would be convenient, but it’s so easy to work around its absence. Want to
collect all the lines of the current document NOT containing “foo”? Cmd-A
(select all), Cmd-C (copy), Cmd-N (new document), Cmd-V (paste), Process lines
containing “foo”, check “Delete matched lines,” and Bob’s your uncle.
Varying combinations of “Copy selected lines to clipboard” and “Delete matched
lines”, “Copy to clipboard,” and “Copy to new document” can accomplish pretty
much anything you want, with only a few extra keystrokes.
