Basic Operators
Delete Lines
Remove complete lines or everything to line end.
Repeating d makes the operation linewise, while D removes from the cursor through the end of the current line.
Use dd, and D in the editor beside this lesson. Practice is where you learn it, with the answer a click away; the Test is graded, unaided, and the only thing that marks this lesson complete.

Practice to learn it. Test to prove it.
Practice keeps the answer a click away — endlessly in Free, or as a 15-goal run against par and your own best time in Timed. The Test gives you 8 goals with no hints and a keystroke budget on each; passing it is what marks this lesson complete.
