Is there a counterpart to Alt+Shift+T which is Edit.LineTranspose? I guess
not, right?

But this imho is awkward. Like an indicator on a car but only for the left
side, not for the right?

If it doesn't exist could a macro do the same thing? If so could someone
kindly post a macro?

Cheers,
Robert

Isn't this "counterpart" just the same as Edit.LineTranspose applied to
the above line? I would just press ^ arrow and then Alt+Shift+T. Maybe
that's the reason why counterpart doesn't exist.

Here it is:

Sub LineTransposeUp()
Dim offset As Integer
Dim sel As TextSelection

DTE.UndoContext.Open("LineTransposeUp")
Try
sel = DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection
offset = sel.ActivePoint.LineCharOffset
sel.LineUp()
DTE.ExecuteCommand("Edit.LineTranspose")
sel.LineUp()
sel.MoveToLineAndOffset(sel.ActivePoint.Line, offset)
Catch ex As System.Exception
End Try
DTE.UndoContext.Close()
End Sub

Thanks, that works fine.

One further issue: Is there any way to avoid the balloon message that comes
up from the task bar? It's saying something about the abortion of the macro.

One line is okay. But if you want to move it several lines than it's not
that nice anymore. I know, then I could do a copy and paste. But if there is
such an shortcut it is quite more fun. At least to me.

One further optimization would be to move not just one line rather whole
blocks of code.

Actually, this is not my idea. I've used this functionality in Eclipse. I
used it quite often. Now I miss it. You know, once you get used to it...

For those that are interested to get rid of the balloon tip, look into this
