Command Delete makes me want to kill myself

I'm using snow leopard.

In mail, command-delete deletes the whole line, option-delete deletes a word. As far as I can see, command-delete is not undoable - once the line is gone, it's gone. At least this is the case in Mail and Safari. Just tried it now - deleted the line then when I hit command-z to undo, all the text in the box was deleted. Had to choose redo typing from edit to save everything after the line delete. So there's definitely something funky here.

Final Draft can't be customized -- already talked with their system support.

Seems to me that if command-delete is consistent through mail, safari, ichat, etc, then it should be considered system wide. Any time one enters text, and one hits command-delete, there's a consistent effect of deleting the current line.

In the end, it's Final Draft's inconsistent use of shortcut keys that's the problem. These are the sorts of things you want to be consistent across apps and it's frustrating when vendors decide to go their own way, and not allow users the choice of being able to stick with what they know from other apps.

I don't think I can do it as it would mean remapping option-delete from what it does currently -- I think deleting the line in final draft -- to just the word. This is the issue -- no customizability - might have to look into running a third party app.

Are you saying when you hit command-delete here in safari while you're typing in this text box, the line doesn't delete? What happens for you? This can't be new to leopard -- i've been option-deleting for years. It's what is normal for deleting words.

Yeah this command-delete function is in both installs of the os that I have, including the fresh one, so odd that you don't have the function.

The mail undo is pretty lame, particularly for this one. frustrating too when going between apps where this functionality isn't mirrored.
