MoveLine

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.
