Using this plugin

Installation

Download both files and place them into ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins. If the plugins directory does not exist, create it: mkdir -p ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins. Activate the plugin via Edit->Preferences->Choose Plugin Tab.

Possible features

'Unkill line(s)' would be useful. Something akin to the ctrl-k / ctrl-u functionality in nano.
add your requests
transpose lines (switches current line with either previous or following line)
- more generally move line(s) up/down. Done such that ctrl+up/down moves line or selection up/down by one line pushing lines in the way to the other side of the line/selection (a la eclipse)
copy line (copies current line to clipboard)
copy to end of line (copies current line to clipboard starting from the cursor position)
cut line (copies current line to clipboard and then "kills" it)
cut to end of line (copies current line to clipboard starting from the cursor position and then deletes to end of line)
paste line (inserts clipboard text on a new line for use with previous methods)
paste to end of line (inserts clipboard text at the end of the current line followed by a line break)
change line endings CR, LF, CRLF

might I suggest this needs a more descriptive name .... lots of features count as 'advanced'
