The Rstudio editor has a weird difference between OS X and Linux.
It has a shortcut Ctrl+K which is supposed to Delete to Line End (and not delete the Line End).

On OS X the shortcut Ctrl+K will also delete the end of line thus joining the next line with the remainder of the current line.
On Linux that doesn't happen.

I've complained about that quite some time ago but nothing seems to be done about it.
