As mentioned in IRC: The composer behavior changed (editor) as ctrl-k doesn't delete the line anymore. Kate has a different behaviour as ctrl-k deletes the line. I would like to use katepart in composer so that I can use all the very advanced features from kate (like word completion). This is not configurable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Type ctrl-k 2. characters are deleted until the end of line 3. cursor remains there 4. with cursor on empty line ctrl-k has no effect Expected Results: ctrl-k should delete the line as in kate Just allowing people to use katepart in composer would be good enough. This should go into the settings
We never used katepart as component in composer. (it will never use it for sure). But I used ktextedit in kde4 and new composer in kf5 so perhaps "ctrl-k deletes the line" was not reimplemented. I will look at it.

Laurent, I have now kmail 5.3 on opensuse Leap 42.2 ctrl-k is now deleting from cursor to the end of line, but not deleting the line. Looks like this was the intended fix. But it wasn't the behavior I looked for. I will take the discussion about using other kparts offline. This is not a request to re-open the bug
