How to delete a line using a shortcut in Gedit?

Question

Is there any shortcut for it?

If not is it possible to set a key for this operation?

I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Yes. Position the cursor anywhere on the line you wish to delete and hit CTRL+D.

Apparently the shortcut is simply built-in into Gedit. I can't find an easy way to change it; apparently that's technically not possible [anymore], or at least not easily.

For anything related to text in general:

Use Home to put the cursor at the beginning of the line then Shift+End+backspace

Similarly you can set the cursor at the end using End then Shift+Home+backspace
