Description

As a programmer I miss a couple of text manipulation shortcuts (primarily from Sublime)

I would like to add
`Ctrl + Cmd + (cursor up)` to move a line up
`Ctrl + Cmd + (cursor down)` to move a line down

I miss some other shortcuts, but they are already reported by others!
To complete my list:
- `Shift + Cmd + D` (duplicate line) is mentioned here: https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/336
- I saw a mention the multiple cursors (https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/453) : sounds complex to build but would be awesome
- And the tab for indentation in lists (https://github.com/MacDownApp/macdown/issues/667)

btw: awesome project!

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the macOS code-editor key-command handling, then verify how cursor-up and cursor-down commands are registered and tested; done means the requested shortcuts move the current line up or down without disrupting existing shortcuts.
