Hello!
Just had a question. In the Synchronet text editor, when one is replying to an email, is there a method for quickly deleting lines? I replied to someone who had written like 30 lines of text, and it loaded with their message quoted. I just wanted the last two lines, so I had to hold delete for what felt like an hour lol :D
Is there any shortcuts to delete a line, or even better, to mark a start/end position and delete all within the range?

The Synchronet internal message editor supports deleting one line at a time

Did I also tell you that I was basically "brand new" to Synchronet in it's modern incarnation?
What editor is installed on vanilla Synchronet?
The message editor choices available to all users in a fresh Synchronet install:
1. The built-in/internal line editor
2. Deuce's fseditor.js
3. Nightfox's slyedit.js (in ICEedit mode)
4. Nightfox's slyedit.js (in DCTedit mode)

FSEditor seems to be what you use if you do not make any changes at all to a new installation, unless some of those get chosen based on terminal capabilities. That is good info to have and I appreciate you passing it along.
I will have to give Nightfox's editors a look. This one (FSEditor) gets weird with backspace and delete. Earlier they acted reversed (on your BBS I believe). Here on my own board they are functioning as I would expect. I am not sure why.
In the default Synchronet editor you can press CTRL-K to read help for hot k
marked with an asterisk.

In the CTRL-K help, CTRL-Y is listed as "delete line".

Ahh great! Thanks a lot. If only I checked this board before I
replied to someone on another where I spent 3 minutes holding
delete lol :D
Or, even better, if only you'd LOOKED AT THE SCREEN in the editor and seen in the bottom status line where it says "Ctrl-K for help". Eh? <EYEROLL>
