In the days there was WordStar. The mother of all word processors, editors and the like. WordStar had special key combinations that eventually seeped through some text processing applications. They had this ‘diamond shape’ of shortcuts around your fingers. So one particular shortcut is Ctrl-Y. It erases the line you’re in.

Several other editors used this shortcut like Norton Editor (where have you gone) and WordPerfect Editor. It seems that there are no specific key bindings for ‘erase current line’. @Garry Could you bind Ctrl-Y? Or as an alternative (I can understand you want keybindings centrally managed) a feature that allows a user to map important keys.

I’ve added Delete Line to Studio’s Edit menu.

Ctrl-D already does this in Studio's editor. I've tweaked it to Cmd-D on macOS for the next release however for platform consistency.

With no selection, it deletes the current line. With a selection, it deletes every line touched by that selection. The operation is fully undoable and redoable.

I’ve left Ctrl+Y unchanged because it is already used for Redo on Windows and Linux.
