Delete: CTRL-k

Start a new line: CTRL-OPTION-RETURN

Thank you! Your answers were MOST important. My problem is that when I click "help" I don't have the option of "Keyboard shortcuts"

Type that phrase - or whatever you need help on - into the Search Box then
press return. The hits will be listed in the Topics panel of the Help
window.
