Earns its place in the Blender Extensions library by filling a gap the text editor leaves open: a single shortcut that both removes a line and keeps its content on the clipboard.
Delete Line Shortcut is a small Blender add-on that brings a line-deletion shortcut to the text editor. Pressing CTRL + SHIFT + BACKSPACE while on a line removes that line and cuts its content into the clipboard, so you can paste the deleted line elsewhere. There is no need to select anything first, and the behaviour matches the equivalent shortcut in VS Code.
Under the hood, the add-on works mostly through Blender's built-in functions: it adds a newline character to the current line, selects the whole line, cuts the selected content, then deletes the remaining newline character. The shortcut is editable from Edit > Preferences > Keymap > Text > Text global > Delete line, so you can remap it to another combination.
The add-on requests Clipboard permission to read from and write to the system clipboard. It is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. It sits at rank 407 in the Blender Extensions library.
Delete Line Shortcut is best for blender users who write scripts or edit text in the built-in text editor and want a quick way to delete a whole line and reuse its content.
Delete Line Shortcut is completely free to download and use.
Delete Line Shortcut is listed as compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer. If you are running an earlier release, the add-on may not install or behave as intended, so 4.2 LTS is the baseline to aim for. It is distributed as an extension that you add through Blender's Preferences by installing the downloaded .zip and enabling the checkbox next to the extension's name. For the latest compatibility details and release history, check the developer's page on GitHub.
Delete Line Shortcut assigns CTRL + SHIFT + BACKSPACE by default, which you press while in the text editor on the line you want to remove, with no selection needed. If that combination clashes with something else or you prefer another key, you can remap it from Edit > Preferences > Keymap > Text > Text global > Delete line inside Blender's settings. One reviewer noted remapping it to Ctrl/L, so the shortcut is fully editable to match your own habits.
Delete Line Shortcut requests Clipboard permission so it can read from and write to the system clipboard. This is core to how it works: when you delete a line, the add-on cuts that line's content to the clipboard, letting you paste it wherever you want afterwards. The clipboard permission was added to the manifest in version 1.2.2. If you would like to review exactly what the add-on accesses, the permission is declared in its manifest and documented on the developer's page.
Delete Line Shortcut installs like other Blender extensions. Download the newest version's .zip from the releases page, or grab the git repository as a zip, then open Blender and go to Preferences > Add-ons/Extensions. Use the install button in the top-right corner, select the downloaded .zip file, and tick the checkbox next to the extension's name to enable it. You can also drag and drop the file into Blender. Full steps are on the developer's GitHub page.
