Delete all words in the current line and leave it a blank line in vscode

In VSCode, we can use a shortcut to delete the current line. But sometimes I want to rewrite the current line, so I don't want to delete the line when we are deleting all the words. Is there any way to delete all words but don't delete the current line?

  1. Select the line you want to delete and then press Ctrl + Shift + K. This will delete the entire line.
  2. Place the cursor at the end of the line you want to delete and press Command + Delete. This will delete all the text to the left of the cursor.

I looked through Keyboard Shortcuts of VS Code, it doesn't have such thing as deleting contents of a line and leaving the empty line.

You can use one of the following combinations:

  1. Home then Shift+End (or End then Shift+Home) to select the contents, then Delete or start typing (as you want to rewrite the line)
  2. Ctrl+Shift+K to delete line, then Ctrl+Shift+Enter to insert new line above. This will move the cursor to the empty line so you can start typing the new content.

There is a useful command deleteAllLeft and deleteAllRight which are unbound by default. So try in your keybindings.json:

{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+backspace",
  "command": "deleteAllLeft"
}

It will delete any indentation on the left as well - until your formatter kicks in however you have it set up.
