hi,

it is possible to copy by ctrl+c the complete line from editor to clipboard if 
the cursor stands at beginning of a line and no text is marked ?

this was a nice feature in microsoft visual c++ ide.

Do you want to use the copied line in the same editor? If so, simply use
Ctrl+Shift+Arrow_Up/Down ones to copy the line and then Ctrl+Arrow_Up/Down to
move it. This does not depend on the caret being at beginning of a line.

Otherwise I'd prefer to add a separate command instead of smart behavior.

as I've understood, frank was asking for the feature of copying of a whole line 
into clipboard without marking it. the keystroke ctrl+c has no functionality if 
nothing was marked, so why don't use it as ms visual studio does? 

the ctrl+shift+arrow up/down doesn't do the same, it just navigate to the next/
previous method in a class (in a java editor).
