How to delete the current line and add a new line in Notepad++?

These two operations are very common but I can't find any key setting how to do them in Notepad++. Can any plugin do this job?

Question #1 Ctrl + L or Ctrl + Alt + L as already answered

1. Click Ctrl+F and then go to replace tab
2. Check the extended option in it
3. in find type anything
4. in replace you can type '\n'(to insert blank line) '\t' (to delete blank line)

Answer 3

Ctrl + L shall be able to cut the current line and Ctrl + Shift + L shall be able to remove the current line.

You can see and change hotkeys in Settings > Shortcut Mapper... > Scintilla Commands.

The version of my Notepad++ is 6.1.1.

Ctrl + L will cut the line.

Ctrl + Shift + L will delete the line (i.e. not copying it to clipboard).
