+### "Composed" Commands
+
+A common question is, "How do I make a single keybinding execute two or more
+commands?" There isn't any direct support for this in Atom, but it can be
+achieved by creating a custom command that performs the multiple actions
+you desire and then creating a keybinding for that command. For example, let's

+by Cut. You could add the following to your `init.coffee`:
+
+```coffee
+atom.commands.add 'atom-text-editor', 'custom:cut-line', ->
+  editor = atom.workspace.getActiveTextEditor()
+  editor.selectLinesContainingCursors()
+  editor.cutSelectedText()
+```

+add the following to your keymap:
+
+```coffee
+'atom-text-editor':
+  'alt-ctrl-z': 'custom:cut-line'
+```

 ### Specificity and Cascade Order
 
 As is the case with CSS applying styles, when multiple bindings match for a
