description

Swapping a line with the line directly above or below it is a common task when writing computer software. This script provides some mappings for normal, insert and visual modes which make this more easily accomplished. Using it allows you to move a line (or multiple lines) of text up or down within a document using the <S> and <Up>/<Down> arrow keys. This is similar to the <Alt> and <Up>/<Down> arrow text movement feature in Eclipse. Thanks to tips http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/VimTip191.

install details

Download vimball, open it with vim, and do :so %. By default, use <S-Up> and <S-Down> to move line or block of lines. You can override this with remapping of : <Plug>upAndDownUp <Plug>upAndDownDown <Plug>upAndDownInsertUp <Plug>upAndDownInsertDown <Plug>upAndDownVisualUp <Plug>upAndDownVisualDown
