delete-region is advertised to do that, but a quick test in my case seems to do the same as kill. I haven't the time now to debug that, might just be an idiosyncracy of my less-than-organized .emacsAfter a quick test, it seems delete-region does what I want. It doesn't seem to have a standard bind key.
It would slow things down to have one, and waste a keychord. In order to invoke delete-region you first need to define a region. Once that's done, either the delete or backspace key will delete it. With a split space keyboard the backspace key (left of split) is more accessible than any key combo whatever.
