Thank you, this helps somewhat, even though the signal functions
aren't documented.

The first argument seems to be the scope, the second argument the
direction in which the operation is executed.

I managed to emulate C-u thus:

  bind "<ctrl>u" { "move-cursor" (paragraph-ends, -1, 0)
                   "delete-from-cursor" (paragraph-ends, 1) }

Maybe not the best solution, but it does the job.

For the record, C-h is:

  bind "<ctrl>h" { "delete-from-cursor" (chars, -1) }

How true, even in this case ;)
