Macro-based shortcut
OK, based on our comment discussion here’s a macro based solution.
Create a new Macro with the following code (Alt+F8, specify the name, click Create):
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Delete Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
Assign a keyboard shortcut to it:
* File > Option > Customize Ribbon
* Click on Keyboard shortcuts: Customize (bottom left)
* Scroll down the Categories list and select Macros, choose your new macro
* Press the shortcut key combination (e.g. Ctrl+D)
* Click Assign
* Close > OK
And you are done. Now you can press Ctrl+D whenever your cursor is on a line and it will perform Home - Shift+End - Delete sequence for you which will delete the line.
Hopefully, that will work for you. Cheers!
