Move the current line up or down. Add blank lines below or above the curser.

Move-Line-Up-Down.vim

Move the current line up or down. Add blank lines below or above the cursor.

Adapted from vim-unimpaired, but the mappings are dot-repeatable without dependency on vim-repeat.

Mappings

No mappings are created automatically, add your own. I use the mappings as suggested by vim-unimpaired. Vimscript:

nmap [e <Plug>(move-line-up)
nmap ]e <Plug>(move-line-down)
nmap [<Space> <Plug>(insert-blank-line-above)
nmap ]<Space> <Plug>(insert-blank-line-below)

or with init.lua:

vim.keymap.set('n', '[e', '<Plug>(move-line-up)')
vim.keymap.set('n', ']e', '<Plug>(move-line-down)')
vim.keymap.set('n', '[<Space>', '<Plug>(insert-blank-line-above)')
vim.keymap.set('n', ']<Space>', '<Plug>(insert-blank-line-below)')

Usage

Use [count][e to move the current line [count] lines upwards. Use [count]]<Space> to create [count] blank lines below the current line. Press [count]. to repeat last action.
