These commands (bound to ctrl-up/down by default) now work at the top or bottom of the body pane. The move-lines-up command inserts a new line below the selected line/lines when the lines are at the top of the body text. Similarly, the move-lines-down command inserts a line before the moved lines when at the bottom of the body text. Imo, this is a natural and useful.
I would also like to extend the idea to ctrl-left/right, inserting or deleting leading indentation on all lines containing selected text. Just like tab and shift-tab when there are lines selected.
And just like tab, there is a problem if there is no selected text. Do we want to insert a tab, or change leading indentation? This is a common, difficult, case. Maybe the solution is to bind ctrl-tab and ctrl-shift-tab to (new?) commands that work regardless of whether any text is selected...

The indent-region and unindent-region commands do almost exactly what is desired, so this is only a binding question. However, imo, these commands should not change the selection, especially if there is none. I'll fix this soon.
