Move entire line up and down in Vim

Question

In Notepad++, I can use Ctrl + Shift + Up / Down to move the current line up and down. Is there a similar command to this in Vim?

Answer 1

If I want to swap one line with the line above I usually do the following

ddkP

Explanation

• dd will delete the line and add it to the default register.
• k will move up a line (j would move down a line)
• P will paste above the current line
