Cutting up to, including, line end shortcut
On Emacs, if you type 'C-w' in a line containing text, it cuts the entire line by default, including the end of line character.
Is it possible to set up similar shortcut in Intellij?
In the Emacs bindings, `C-k` is assigned to `Cut up to Line End` but it's annoying because it does not cut the end of line character.

Thanks Serge. I don't think it's the same issue. I've opened https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-143406
Thinking further, I think there's a mismatch issue.
`C-k` in IntelliJ Emacs is working same as in Emacs itself, it removes everything except the end of line character.
However, it's more efficient to use kill, C-w for this, since if you do it without selecting a region, it kills the current line, including the end of line character.
So, even if you'd get `C-k` to remove the entire line, even if you include the end of line character, you still wouldn't kill/cut it.
The problem is this: you can't use `C-w` keyboard shortcut to kill the current line, you're kinda forced to use `C-k` which is different, and requires an extra keyboard shortcut to be remembered.
