Deleting Text
The easiest way to delete text is to use the DEL key. It deletes the
character to the left of the cursor, usually the character you've just
typed. To delete the character under the cursor, use C-d. To delete to
the end of the current word, type M-d. C-k deletes all the text from
the cursor to the end of the line. If the cursor is already at the end
of the line, it joins the current line with the next line. (This
deletes a blank line.)
