POMove line Up/Down shortcut in Visual Studio 2012
text
Body
copied!<p>In VS2010 I had a shortcut set up <kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>Up/Down</kbd> to move lines of code up or down, just like I used to have in Eclipse in my Java days.</p> <p>Now since Power Tools and macros (which is how I set up this shortcut in VS2010) are not available in VS2012, how do I get this to work?</p> <p>I've seen somebody mentioned that Resharper can do this, but for the love of fire and water, I can't find the command names in the list of commands that can do that. I have tried ReSharper_MoveUp/MoveDown and that does not move lines up/down:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NHRPQ.png" alt="Move_Up command did not do the trick"></p> <p>This moves blocks of text up and down. I just want line-by-line up or down, no fancy logic there. Before</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/C8E7c.png" alt="What I have"></p> <p>After <kbd>ALT</kbd>+<kbd>Up</kbd> (when cursor is on WriteLine line) I would like to see this:</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/CLe3u.png" alt="Line moved one up, inside the bracket, indented"></p> <p>I have seen these threads: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4526715/whats-the-equivalent-for-eclipses-altup-down-move-line-in-visual-studio">What's the equivalent for eclipse's ALT+UP/DOWN (move line) in Visual Studio?</a>, <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/313462/visual-studio-hotkeys-to-move-line-up-down-and-move-through-recent-changes">Visual Studio: hotkeys to move line up/down and move through recent changes</a>, but none of the suggested solutions work in VS2012. </p> <p>Any other ideas?</p> <p><strong>UPD 7 Nov 2012:</strong> . Extensions are catching up with Visual Studio 2012. Now I know at least 3 extensions that provide this functionality:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/b3ee08dc-a28f-4aec-9efa-69215ab5ee52" rel="noreferrer">MoveLine Extension</a>.

Have not actually tried this, but <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2012/11/07/productivity-power-tools-2012.aspx" rel="noreferrer">this blog post</a> states it does the line move up/down</li> </ul> <p><strong>UPD 15 Nov 2012:</strong> Just stumbled across another extension that claims it does what is required here. Have not tried it though: <a href="http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/92ef7620-d7f6-493f-825a-ba52d07d56c2?SRC=VSIDE" rel="noreferrer">LineMan Extension</a></p> <p><strong>UPD 10 May 2015</strong> Just installed VS2015 RC and this is built-in already: <a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VhhJt.png" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/VhhJt.png" alt="MoveLineUp/Down"></a></p>
