OK I changed delete_line in the [Katepart Shortcuts] section to Ctrl+Y.
Logged out of trinity, restarted xwindows and logged back in.
Everything worked as expected. Ctrl+Y deleted the line and Ctrl=Z put it
back. I normally use Ctrl+E since the finger stretch to Y is too long for
either of my hands hand... <grin>
I don't think the problem is Trinity, but.... I don't know where else to
look either.
The only other thing I can think of is this. If you are manually editing
the katerc file instead of using Kate Configure, check really careful for
any spelling, or punctuation errors, and possibly even capitalization
errors on the line that says delete_line. I "think" that if there is such
an error, anywhere on that line, that Kate will not complain but switch
over to some hard wired default, possibly Ctrl+Y.
Also, grep the entire .trinity directory for delete_line. There should
only be one and only in katerc. If there are more than one, that could be
your problem.
This has nothing to do with your current problem, but your comment about
macro programs applying system wide is not correct. Both KHotKey which is
built in to Trinity and AutoKey, allow you to set things so that the
hotkeys only work in "a" specific window... I am a AutoKey junkie and have
not used KHotKey in over 6 years--but I did check and you can still specify
a window in KHotKey.
Are you using the Ubuntu version or a different one like ArchLinux?
Storms are coming into my area, so I might be shut down for a few hours if
it gets bad.

Have you restarted trinity since you changed the settings? If not try
that...
Sure, not only once :-)
and
Are you using 14.0 version or 14.1 version of Trinity?
R14.0.2, but the problem exists since 3.5.11. I just stumbled upon it once
again.
But could you please test on your installation if you could o these remaps:
"Undo" --> <Ctrl>+Z
"Redo" --> <Ctrl>+<Shift>+Z
"Delete Line" --> <Ctrl>+Y
And test what happens if you press (after logging out and logging in
again):
<Ctrl>+Y
<Ctrl>+Z

I just used grep to search all of the .trinity directory and there was
only
one place that had delete_line and that was
~/.trinity/share/config/katerc
So, I'm out of ideas if restarting doesn't work...
