This one you have to do alt-shift-left (to select the sexp) and then
backspace or cut or something. You can probably exploit that fact in a
keybindings file of your own making to make that one chord.

This one is remove-sexp (esc;control-k on my machine; see the
Edit|Keybindings|Show Active Keybindings... menu item to see what it
is on yours).
