How to duplicate a line in KDevelop

Question

How can I clone a line in KDevelop? Is there any shortcut or menu item for that?

Answer 1

To duplicate lines up/down, use:

• Ctrl+Alt+Up
• Ctrl+Alt+Down

To move lines up/down, use:

• Ctrl+Shift+Up
• Ctrl+Shift+Down

See Editor->Tools->Scripts.

This is all implemented in Kate using JavaScript and can easily be extended.

To reassign the shortcuts, see Settings->Configure Shortcuts.

Answer 2

There is also the option to enable Copy/Cut the current line if no selection in Settings -> Editor -> Editing.

Then you can Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V any line.
