Hey
This is a quick super tip for anyone who uses Mac OS X stickies in Dashboard. If you find that you want to delete a line of text from a sticky hold down the command key and then press delete (which I think is backspace on a Macbook Pro). This will automatically delete the line of text within your widget.
The tip of Command + Delete also works in other applications by Apple. For example you can quickly delete calenders with this command. Delete desktop items. There are hundreds of ways to delete stuff through this command. Its a little tip that can save you a couple of seconds.

Hi,
I actually really dislike the command-delete way to remove a line. Alt-delete removes just one word, the two keys are right next to each other, and removing just one word is incredibly more useful. I switch between using an Apple & a PC, and it is driving me crazy that I cannot turn the command-delete keyboard shortcut off.
Is there any way to turn OFF these core shortcuts? Or maybe over-ride it with another, more benign, shortcut?
Thanks!
Mike
@Mike. No there isn’t a way to turn off shorrcuts for Dashboard, i’m afraid.
