[bug] Command-delete doesn't delete whole line

On my MacBook Pro, I use option and command as modifier keys a lot when editing text. For example:

1. option-right arrow jumps the cursor forward one word (works in nvUltra)
2. option+delete deletes the previous word, command+delete (works in nvUltra)
3. command+right arrow jumps to the end of the current line (works in nvUltra)
4. command+delete deletes the entire line we're on (doesn't work in nvUltra)

It looks like the command+delete hotkey is occupied by the "Move file to trash" hotkey. Woah! This is scary and not at all what I'm expecting while editing text. Command+delete is pretty much universally "delete entire line up until this point" on a Mac, so I would expect that to be the behavior here.

Exact steps to repro:

• Open nvUltra
• Select a note or create a new one 
• Write some text
• With the cursor positioned at the end of the line you just wrote, press command+delete

Expected behavior: The line is deleted

Actual behavior: Nothing (although the "File" menu flashes, as if it's trying to perform the "Move to trash" function)

  Already fixed for next release, and yes the menu was intercepting the command but nothing happened since the editor was first responder instead of the notes list. 

   

  Thanks.

  I'm experiencing this bug in V67. When the search box is suggesting an auto-complete for a note name, command delete doesn't delete any text
