> With a keyboard and a mouse, I have to reach over, select the whole line (being careful not to over or under select), hit Ctrl+C, move the cursor down to the beginning of the next line, and hit Ctrl+V.
Sure, but who does that?
In any text editor on the Mac its:
- Command-Left to move to the beginning of the line
- Shift-Command-Right to select to the end of the line
- Command-C to copy
- Command-V to paste
One annoying thing about that, though, is that it doesn't copy the newline itself, so if you want to paste the line and the line terminator multiple times, you need to do something more like:
- Command-Left to move to the beginning of the line
- Shift-Command-Right to select to the end of the line
- Shift-Right to select the newline
- Command-C to copy
- Command-V to paste
But, of course, most full-featured text editors make that easier. In Sublime and Atom, it's:
- Command-L to select the current line
- Command-C to copy
- Command-V to paste
