Edit: in the next release (v8.6.2, coming soon) Shift-DEL, Ctrl-INS & Shift-INS will be restored. Deletion of entire line while no selection with Shift-DEL shortcut will be removed. And "disableLineCopyCutDelete.xml" won't take any effect. Please see #14569 for more info.

In v8.6 & v8.61 some old behaviours has been changed. In order to restore these old behaviour, user can create the empty "disableLineCopyCutDelete.xml" file to add Shift-DEL & Ctrl-INS back and prevent from copying/cutting/deleting entire line.

This empty xml file is optional. By adding disableLineCopyCutDelete.xml in "%APPDATA%\Notepad++" directory (or in the Notepad++ installed directory in portable mode) to:

1. prevent hard coded Shift-DEL shortcut deletes whole line while no selection.
2. prevent Copy command (Ctrl-C) copies whole line (without selection).
3. prevent Cut command (Ctrl-X) cuts whole line (without selection).
4. add SCI_CUT (Shift-DEL), SCI_COPY (Ctrl-INS) & SCI_PASTE (Shift-INS) shortcuts.
