Are there keyboard shortcuts to move paragraphs up or down while editing text? Microsoft Word on Windows has this really handy feature where you can move the current paragraph up or down.  I think you type alt+ctrl+up or alt+ctrl+down, though I don't have a Windows PC in front of me and I can't test that.  The shortcut is far easier than selecting the paragraph, cutting it, moving to the start of the previous (or end of the next) paragraph, then pasting it.
I had to disable two default shortcuts in the keyboard control panel (within System Preferences), that were designated for "Mission Control" and "Application Windows". They were getting in the way of me using this shortcut on Mac Word. Once that is disabled, you can use Shift + option/alt + up or down arrow.
