I would like a command to copy a line to the clipboard and also comment it (as in CTRL+7). I would use it as an alternative to the Cut command as it is not rare that programmers comment a line rather than delete it. It should make sense to have a copy+comment command.

Reproducible: Always

What programming language are you talking about here?
Comment 2 Prakash Rangaraj CLA 2011-03-23 01:35:54 EDT 
Assuming its Java. Moving to JDT
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2011-03-23 04:04:12 EDT 
I don't think this is often used - at least I've never felt the need for it and I've never seen it in an editor.

Feel free to provide a good quality patch if you really need this.
Comment 4 Nobody - feel free to take it CLA 2011-03-23 04:40:40 EDT 
Yes, the language is Java.

I agree you may have not used it but the fact that it is not seen in any editor doesn't mean it shouldn't be considered.

I don't think this is general enough to justify a separate command.
See bug 8519 for a general macro facility.
