Little know trick, use the folding feature:

If a method is folded, and if you select the folded line, you will actually copy the full body of said method.

If the Alt+Shift+Up does not work for large number of lines, this will.

If you just want to copy a code block (including a method body), double click to the right of the first curly brace, the whole block will become highlighted, then it's just a Control-C, Control-V thing :)

You can find a list of shortcuts in Eclipse by typing Ctrl+Shift+L.

While you are exploring this list, you will find Alt+Shift+Right which selects the next element. This may be what you are looking for.

You can press alt+shift+up several (5-10 if you start from empty selection) times to expand selection to include the whole method body.
