Delete from cursor to end of line under visual selection in vim

Question

I have a code segment like below.

type Account struct {                                                                                                                                                                                       
    Id                         int                                                                                                                                                                          
    UserId                     int                                                                                                                                                                          
    Name                       string                                                                                                                                                                       
    Address                    string                                                                                                                                                                       
    City                       string                                                                                                                                                                       
    State                      string                                                                                                                                                                       
    CountryId                  string 
}

I want to delete all the data types. Is there a key combination to this?

I tried <C-V> and select the first letter of all data types in a vertical line, hoping d + $ would work post that, however vim only takes the first input d and deletes the first letter.

Answer 1

Use <C-v> to enter visual block mode, select the lines you want to change and then D to delete until the end of those.

From :h v_D :

{Visual}["x]X   or                  *v_X* *v_D* *v_b_D*
{Visual}["x]D       Delete the highlighted lines [into register x] (for
                    {Visual} see |Visual-mode|).  In Visual block mode,
                    "D" deletes the highlighted text plus all text until
                    the end of the line.  {not in Vi}

Note that, as mentioned in the help, X and D are not equivalent in visual block mode (X only deletes the current selection, not until the end of the line).

Answer 2

You can move to the left brace, press the % key and issue:

s/ \+[^ ]* *$/

to get:

type Account struct
    Id
    UserId
    Name
    Address
    City
    State
    CountryId
}

The substitution removes all non-white-space characters at the end of the line.

Answer 3

You can use C-V and select the first column of all data type, then do $ to select until the end of the line, followed by x or d to delete.
