Note that the current delete line action also copies the line. Could it 
be that the last thing you did was erasing an empty line?

In any case I still plan to add a real 'delete line' action and rename 
the current one to 'cut line'.

The way the GUI works is that you first have to clear the existing 
shortcut and then press the new one. This is because it allows multi-key 
shortcuts, for example Ctrl+E and then 2 to split the editor.
