I am guessing this should be a real simple question but cant find an
answer readily:
If I want to remove all contents of a line, I press 'd' twice. But in
most cases I want the line to still be there (meaning the space, so
after deleting I would have a blank line), so I tend to find myself
when deleting afterward replacing the line (like shift + O).
So if I am making any sense, is there a way to remove all contents of
a line without removing the line itself (I guess similarly to using x
to delete a character but for a whole line)?
As with many Vim actions, there's more than one way to do it.
My method is to do:
0D
0 goes to the beginning of the line.
D deletes the rest of the line (rest = all, since at the beginning).
