Which meaning of ambidextrous did you intend? ;-)
Nice pun.

It is. Just associate the control+y key stroke with the delete key in the
keyboard settings dialog. Personaly I just use the delete key.

  I didn't know that the delete key deletes one line at a time.

As far as I could find out it doesn't.
Ctrl-Del deletes up to the next space, which is fine by me (Ctrl-Alt-Del
is even more useful).

I've managed to remove the key assignment for LineCut but I seem to be
unable to assign a new shortcut to LineDelete. Is this just me?

I think that Ken got a bit confused about what's the problem.

  The problem is the following (if I understood it correctly):
  We want ctrl-y to delete one line but we don't want it to cut that line
into the clipboard, but the clipboard should stay unmodified instead. If
there is selected text somewhere, the selection should not disappear.

I Use the shift - ins meathod, Most of the time it is quicker to copy a
whole line with just the keyboard than takeing my hand to the mouse and
hilighting that way.
