title: How do I create a Delete-Line Keyboard shortcut in Xcode 8? The Xcode 3 solutions do not work anymore
body: <p>In previous versions of <code>Xcode</code> it was possible to create a key binding to delete the current line. There were different solutions and they are described for example here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/476953/xcode-delete-line-hot-key">Xcode: Delete line hot-key</a></p>

  <p>All solutions include modifying one of these files:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>~/Library/Application Support/Xcode/Key Bindings/*.pbxkeys<br>
    ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict<br>
    ~/Library/KeyBindings/PBKeyBinding.dict</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>A good resource for the existing shortcuts in <code>Xcode 4</code> is <a href="http://cocoasamurai.blogspot.com/2011/03/xcode-4-keyboard-shortcuts-now.html" rel="noreferrer">http://cocoasamurai.blogspot.com/2011/03/xcode-4-keyboard-shortcuts-now.html</a> . There are many listed regarding deletion, but none for "delete line".</p>
  
  <p>BUT, these solutions do <strong>NOT</strong> work since <code>Xcode 4</code>. </p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>:
  Issue is still the same as of <code>Xcode 5.1.1</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>:
  Issue is still the same as of <code>Xcode 6.1 GM Seed 2</code></p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>:
  Still applies to Xcode Version 7.3 (7D175) as of 26th April 2016</p>
  
  <p><strong>Update</strong>:
  Six years later Xcode 8.3 has a built-in solution. See answer below.</p>
