Oenone,
If you've configured the IDE to use the Visual Basic 6 keys (in
Tools/Options/Environment/Keyboard) then it's picking up the standard
behaviour of Ctrl+Y from VB6, which is indeed "delete line." Ctrl+Y is
commonly used in a number of application to mean "Delete Line", usually with
Ctrl+Shift+Z as Redo.
Actually, VB 2005 Express doesn't have any such option. I am
surprised. All it has is (Default).
This is the first app that I've seen use Ctrl+Y as delete line. But I
understand that, just by looking at the keyboard shortcut changes from
version to version in VS that it's all pretty much up for grabs. They
just set them to whatever. Cut 'n Paste and F1 are about the only
things that are guaranteed to work. Even F2 doesn't work -- dammit.
It's enough to drive someone insane.
(FWIW, I agree, I use Ctrl+Y as Redo as well and hate the fact that by
default it deletes lines in VB).
It's only a few seconds' work to remap the shortcut to Redo.
Yup, already done. I just hate this, since what happens on the next
machine with VB on it... they are all different. Keyboard mapping is
soooo important, and it's just an afterthought for the designers.
I strongly suspect that if you reported this to Microsoft as a bug, they
would just tell you that it is "by design," which, really, it is.
Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. It should be a bug. UI issues are
bugs. The ignorance on this issue is very frustrating.

One could argue that it's not a bug. CTRL-Y has stood for Delete Line
since the IDE's available in DOS! One could argue that changing to
Redo is the bug!
