Hi,
in Netbeans when you press M-S-up/M-S-down you move the selected text
up/down. When nothing is selected it moves the current line.
With C-S-up/C-S-down you copy the selection up/down. When nothings is
selected it copies the current line up/down.
Is such functionality available in emacs?

Heres some elisp. It binds M-S-up/down to commands
which move the active region (with respect to columns)
or the current line prefix arg lines up or down.
Have fun.
