Ctrl-Del
Delete the characters in the file as if they were a stream.
Lines will be joined at the cursor and eventually every

Delete the character to the left of the cursor and move left. If

room for 200 lines of deleted text. If more than 200 lines are
deleted, the oldest line(s) are pushed out before the new one is
added. You may press Ctrl-U repeatedly to undelete all lines in
the buffer.
Deleted lines from line delete, delete to end of line, word
delete, join line, and backspace are stored in the undelete
buffer.

cursor. Use tdecfg to set the desired year and time format.
Control-Break
In TDE, Control-Break will stop printing, sorting,
search/replacing, and recursive macros.
