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

:m.+1 or :m.-2 would do if you're moving a single line. Here's my script to move multiple lines. In visual mode, Alt-up/Alt-down will move the lines containing the visual selection up/down by one line. In insert mode or normal mode, Alt-up/Alt-down will move the current line if no count prefix is given. If there's a count prefix, Alt-up/Alt-down will move that many lines beginning from the current line up/down by one line.

function! MoveLines(offset) range
    let l:col = virtcol('.')
    let l:offset = str2nr(a:offset)
    exe 'silent! :' . a:firstline . ',' . a:lastline . 'm'
        \ . (l:offset > 0 ? a:lastline + l:offset : a:firstline + l:offset)
    exe 'normal ' . l:col . '|'
endf

imap   :call MoveLines('-2')
imap   :call MoveLines('+1')
nmap   :call MoveLines('-2')
nmap   :call MoveLines('+1')
vmap   :call MoveLines('-2')gv
vmap   :call MoveLines('+1')gv
