the next line.
If this command is given an argument it kills that number of whole

whether or not the argument is negative or positive. An argument of
zero kills from the cursor to the start of the current line.
- Ctrl-o
-
Create a blank new line, leaving the cursor in its original position. A
prefix argument says to create that many blank lines.
