Emacscdel

Keys

BKSP, SHIFT+BKSP

Emacscdel

Deletes the previous character. If the cursor is in column 1, Emacscdel moves the cursor to the end of the previous line.

In insert mode, Emacscdel deletes the previous character, reducing the length of the line by 1. If the cursor is in column one, Emacscdel deletes the line break, joining the current line to the previous line.

In overtype mode, Emacscdel deletes the previous character and replaces it with a space character. If the cursor is in column 1, Emacscdel moves the cursor to the end of the previous line and does not delete the line break.

Emacscdel is similar to Cdelete, but Cdelete never deletes line breaks; in overtype mode beyond the end of the line, Cdelete automatically moves to the end of the line.

Returns

TrueCursor moved.

FalseCursor not moved.
