Moves a line, or group of lines, up or down in the editor using shortcut keys. Press the shortcut keys to move the line under the cursor up or down or select a block of text and press the shortcut keys to move the entire block up or down.

The default shortcut keys are as follows:

Alt+Up Arrow – Moves a line up
Alt+Down Arrow – Moves a line down

To change the shortcut keys:

In the Visual Studio main menu go to Tools -> Options
Expand Environment
Select Keyboard
In the Show commands containing box type Tools.MoveLineUp orTools.MoveLineDown
In the Press shortcut keys box press the new shortcut keys
Click Assign

Please note: ReSharper has shortcut keys assigned to the default Alt+Up Arrow (ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoPrevMethod) and Alt+Down Arrow (ReSharper.ReSharper_GotoNextMethod). If you have ReShaper installed you will need to assign different keys to the MoveLine commands as outlined above or reassign the ReSharper shortcut keys.
