Menu
I don't know if something has changed recently in Visual Studio 2015 but before I was able to press ALT + UP ARROW KEY or ALT + DOWN ARROW KEY to move lines in code up or down and now it does not do anything.
I went into Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard and I cannot find anything like in the past called
ProjectandSolutionContextMenus.Item.MoveUp
or
ProjectandSolutionContextMenus.Item.MoveDown
Also here in the list of VS2015 I don't see that option: http://visualstudioshortcuts.com/2015/
How to achieve this?

Alt + ↑ (Up Arrow) – Moves a line up. Alt + ↓ (Down Arrow) – Moves a line down.
Moving lines: You can move lines up and down by pressing ALT+UP or ALT+DOWN. No need to select, cut, or paste! Duplicating lines by pressing CTRL+ALT+UP.
With your caret on a line, you can press ⌥⇧↑ (macOS), or Alt+Shift+Up Arrow (Windows/Linux), to move a line up. Alternatively, you can move a line down with ⌥⇧↓ (macOS), or Alt+Shift+Down Arrow (Windows/Linux). The same shortcut can move a selection up or down.
The commands you are looking for are Edit.MoveSelectedLinesUp and Edit.MoveSelectedLinesDown. Shortcuts for them should be defined in the Text Editor context.
