I'm using Alpine 2.26 from Fedora Linux's repo.
When composing a message, I used to be able to type ^W^X to delete from
the current position to the end of the message.
I admit that the sequence was quite odd: how does ^W (Whereis) logically
encompass "delete from here on"? But I got used to that feature.
In a recent update, the feature disappeared (or became disabled).
Can I re-enable it?
Common sense says that ^^ (mark) and ^K (delete from mark to current
position) is a better choice, but my fingers know ^W^X.
I am not sure, but, from memory ^W means write (character) to the end of
the line, and ^X is like <x> in vi; delete character; thence, the
combination means delete each character to the end of the line.
That is my guesstimate...
I could be wrong...
