I’ve been using this tip a lot today, so I thought I would post an internal tip passed along by Josh Buedel, a super sharp coworker of mine.

Some folks are real anal about how their class members are organized within a class. Often I find myself working on two members within a single class and I want them juxtaposed just for that editing session. Eventually I want to put them back. Whatever the reason, reorganizing members via cut and paste can turn into a mistake prone mess, especially when method bodies are long.

R# to the rescue with the Move Member Up/Down feature. Place your cursor anywhere on a member’s signature area, then Ctrl+Alt+Shift+(Up|Down) to move the entire member either up or down, shifting other code around it as you go. This works on methods, properties, even nested classes. And it pulls your 3 bar /// code comments along with it. Check out this sweet vid.

Bonus!: Issuing that four fingered hot key combo feels like you’re giving your IDE a so-who’s-the-boss-now-huh b!tch slap.
