many text and code editors feature a quick way to reorder lines/paragraphs by an easy keyboard shortcut. many use alt+up/down arrow to move a paragraph one paragraph up/down accordingly. this would add to: Rich Text: Drag to move/reorder elements but with keyboard and not mouse. this should work WITHOUT selecting the paragraph, but simply having the cursor somewhere in the line. is this possible? or could that be implemented? or are there browser plugins that can mimic this? thanks!

keyboard shortcut customisation would also be something. :slight_smile: i am happy with whatever other combination. cmd+shift+up/down for example i am doing this quite often in writing because i first dump a lot of info and then rearrange. like many other tools have these drag handles on the side of a block (notion, wordpress). rearranging blocks of text is not unusual. moving an image, list item, paragraph, …

i dont think this can be implemented right now. of course i wanna this as using in Obsidian, but it seem not prioritization atm

I would love this feature as it would help tremendously re-ordering lists, etc. when writing feature specs. Most common text editors have this, even Docs and Word. On many text editors the default keyboard shortcut is SHIFT+CTRL+ARROW UP/DOWN.
