Regular kill-line in the minibuffer

[Ribonous]

Say I call M-x helm-find-files.

and say that I type some path:

/this/is/a/long/path

now say that I move my cursor (point) in the minibuffer to

/this/is[CURSOR]/a/long/path

and I want to kill the rest (i.e. /a/long/path)

If I were in a regular Emacs buffer, I could press C-k (kill-line) to kill everything coming after [CURSOR], but in Helm, C-k deletes the full pattern.

Is there a way of calling the regular kill-line within the minibuffer when in helm? (I personally would prefer to bind C-k back to kill-line, since I can always delete the full pattern with C-a C-k).

Thanks!

Indeed it was missing, I fixed it in exp branch.
So now you can either set `helm-delete-minibuffer-contents-from-point'
to 't' or use `C-u C-k'.

Note: It is not a kill command but a delete command (in both case).

Thanks.
