Shift + Del does this, too

In C# Shift+DEL is Cut. If you have text selected, it cuts the selected text. If nothing is selected, it cuts the whole line. (This is important if you have other stuff you want to paste already on the clipboard.)

FWIW, I thought Shift+DEL did this too for a while until I realized I kept losing my clipboard info. :)

No, the best one is said:

CTRL+]

Moves to the corresponding brace\bracket\#ifdef

Now THAT is a keystroke

Those are good, but my favorite is CTRL + -.

It moves you to the last place you were editing.

It also copies the line to the clipboard, unfortunately, as does Shift+Del.
That sucks. I sure could use one that just deleted a line without copying it to the clipboard.

Doh! You're right, Omer. That's quite a bummer and I'm surprised I haven't been bitten by it. Thanks for the info.

Do you know if there's a shortcut for Duplicate Line?

Another thing... do you know how do disable the "feature" where Ctrl+C will copy the line if nothing is selected?

<rant>I don't know how many times I've accidentally hit Ctrl+C when I meant to press Ctrl+V (paste). Luckily you can press Ctrl+Shift+V to cycle through the clipboard to paste the thing you wanted to paste before it got overwritten by the stupid Ctrl+C behavior.</rant>

Kiliman: Today's release of Resharper (http://www.jetbrains.net/confluence/display/ReSharper/Changes) includes a duplicate line feature. :)
