Delete a line in Eclipse
Effortlessly remove any line in Eclipse using the hotkey Ctrl+D (or Cmd+D on macOS). No text selection needed — just position the cursor on the line.
Additional line deletion strategies
Partial line removal
To delete a portion of a line, select the text and press Ctrl+D (or Cmd+D on macOS). Eclipse kindly leaves the rest of your line untouched.
Bulk line extinction
Need to delete multiple lines? Highlight all and hit Ctrl+D. They'll evaporate before your eyes, slimming down your code in no time.
When the delete button strikes back
Whoops! Deleted more than you bargained for? No worries, just press Ctrl+Z (or Cmd+Z on macOS) to undo the last action. It's the Ctrl+Z's way of saying "I got your back, pal!".
