'Cut' keybinding action also performs 'Cutline' even when not specified

[duerig]

The default behaviour of Ctrl+x is 'Cut|Cutline'. However, if you change it to just 'Cut', it still performs 'Cutline' when no text is selected.

My bindings.json:

{
"Alt-/": "lua:comment.comment",
"CtrlUnderscore": "lua:comment.comment",
"Ctrl-x": "Cut"
}

There seems to be no visible difference between Ctrl-X when running with this bindings.json compared to the default 'Cut|Cutline'. I have verified that this bindings.json is being used in my configuration by making other changes to it.

This is already fixed since #3335, more precisely since commit a317aef.

Which version of micro are you using? I'd assume you are using a version older than a317aef but OTOH before a317aef the default binding of Ctrl-x was Cut, not Cut|Cutline.

$ micro -version
Version: 2.0.9

That is from May and the fix was June. So looks like I will get a fix next time my distro upgrades versions. Thanks.

Actually, to be frank, this fix is not in any official release yet. It was implemented in June but was merged only in September. The latest release is 2.0.14 which was released in August, so it doesn't include this fix. So you'd need to wait until 2.0.15 (or you could use a nighly build from https://github.com/zyedidia/micro/releases/tag/nightly, or compile the newest micro yourself).

BTW, 2.0.9 is very old. It is from May, but it is from May 2021. :)
