Deleting lines of text

One of the little known joys of Info Select is the ability to delete lines using the Ctrl-Y command. This command, I think, originated in WordStar, the old word processor.

It is a particularly useful command once known, because it allows one to import chunks of text and then easily to discard unwanted elements at the cursor point. By holding down the keys, lines disappear at a rate of about five a second. This is much easier than blocking the area for deletion.

Is there any equivalent in UR? If not, is there any chance that this simple but very useful feature might be implemented in a future release?
