How to copy line in XAML editor?

In Visual Studio.NET when coding I constantly use (no selection) CTRL-C, CTRL-V to make a quick copy of a line.

Unfortunately this works differently in the XAML editor (it pastes the new line in the middle of the current line).

Does anyone know the hotkey to copy a line in XAML?

In the XAML editor in Visual Studio 2010 (and the Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview), copying and pasting a line has the expected behavior:

  • Invoking a copy when there is no selected text causes the entire current line to be copied.
  • A subsequent paste when there is no selected text will cause the copied line to be inserted above the current line.

If you map the .xaml extension to the standard XML editor this problem will be solved along with others such as the poor performance of the XAML editor.

Tools / Options / Text Editor / File Extension
