Say I have a function

int calc(int that, int this);

I want to mark int that and then move it right across words by hitting modifier arrow key (or similar) twice to get

int calc(int this, int that);

This is left and right, but I'm also interested in moving lines or selected blocks up and down.

    I used to know a command that did that...

    Do you really mean to move whole lines, e.g. the lines touched by the region? If not, what does it mean to move a region forward - does it mean move it forward the same number of chars that it has?

    FWIW: If your regions are paragraphs then transpose-paragraphs will do the job. Bind it to a key. You can use M-- to move it backward.

    There is a similar discussion here: [How to transpose two arguments of a function in Python? ](emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/11061/…).
