How to Move a Line Up or Down in Visual Studio Code for Mac

Question

I\'m familiar with how to move a line up or down in other editors, like Atom and Sublime.

How is this done in Visual Studio Code for Mac?

Answer 1

You can find the corresponding commands in the Selection menu (Move Line Up and Move Line Down) together with currently set short-cuts.

Additionally, if you launch the command palette (View/ Command Palette) while you have an open document you also find them there (type "move" or "line").

Answer 2

For Windows :

To move a line UP: alt + ↑ (alt + up arrow keys)

To move a line DOWN: alt + ↓ (alt + arrow down keys)

Answer 3

In Visual Studio Code for Mac...

To move a line UP: ⌥+↑ (alt + up arrow key)

To move a line DOWN: ⌥+↓ (alt + down arrow key)

See here for a reference on Basic Editing Key Bindings in Visual Studio Code.

Answer 4

In Visual Studio Code for Mac for me it is:

To move a line UP: ⌥+shift+↑ (alt + shift + up arrow keys)

To move a line DOWN: ⌥+shift+↓ (alt + shift + arrow down keys)

I do have IntelliJ IDEA Keybindings installed.
