When I started answering Nikolaos, I was also initially
thinking of "dgg", but when I tried it it appeared to delete
the whole current line, and not only to the left of the pattern.
So I proposed "d0" and ":1,.-1d". I am not aware why it
does not work for Nikolaos.

Ah, I forgot that gg is a linewise motion. Well, in that case let's
replace hdgg by hdvgg -- where the v forces the motion to work
characterwise (see ":help o_v")
