On OS X when I use the shortcut provided in documentation (⌘ + ⌃ + Up
which I read as Command + Shift + Up
) Sublime Text selects the text instead of moving the line up. Am I missing something?

Looking at [this](http://docs.sublimetext.info/en/latest/reference/keyboard_shortcuts_osx.html) it might be that they mean the `^` character and not the key shift. Below they have another symbol (⇧) which looks more like shift to me. – RedX Sep 06 '16 at 08:00

According to https://docs.sublimetext.io/reference/keyboard_shortcuts_osx.html, it should be Command+Ctrl+Up.
- ⌘ = Command
- ⇧ = Shift
- ⌥ = Option (a.k.a. Alt)
- ⌃ = Ctrl
- ⎋ = Esc
- ↩︎ = Return
- ⌫ = Delete (a.k.a. Backspace)
See also https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/42615/is-there-a-list-of-menu-shortcut-icons for the meaning of the symbols.

I could not track down what was causing the key binding collision, so I set user key bindings in Sublime Text to an alternative. To do this, open Sublime Text. In the top menu navigate to Sublime Text > Preferences > Key Bindings then add these hashes to the array with the alternative key binding of your choice:
[
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+super+up"], "command": "swap_line_up" },
{ "keys": ["ctrl+alt+shift+super+down"], "command": "swap_line_down" },
]

In a Visual Studio Code, configured with Sublime Text Keymaps, you can also use:
- Option+Up
