In EditPlus, you can have your cursor in a line, hit CTRL-J, and the line will be copied immediately underneath the current line. Hit CTRL-J four or five times and you get…

I hope that e also increases the shortcut keys.

It uses cygwin.But I don't like cygwin.

I hope E will achieve through its own.

Eclipse does this well with control-alt-down and control-alt-up to copy the selected lines up or down. I wouldnt mind seeing this feature in e. Very Happy

If you have Ruby, Python, Perl or another interpreter installed locally, you could create a command that does this in Windows native mode which wouldn't require Cygwin. You could even bind the command to Ctrl-Alt-Down or whatever.

Well, you could if native mode worked, but I still can't get it working even in 1.0.41 with the following setup:

But I wouldn't hold your breath for a built-in version of the duplicate line function, though. The beauty of E is in its commands system; there would be little point in creating a built-in tool when this functionality can be accomplished just as effectively with a command.

Objectively, what is the problem with leaving Cygwin installed? If it provides you with the functionality you need, then surely there's an argument for using it?
