MoveUp Line Auto-Indent

[Astrantia]

Environment data

VS Code version: 1.19.1
Python Extension version: 0.9.1
Python Version: 3.6
OS and version: Windows 10

Actual behavior

When moving up lines with key shortcut Alt+UpArrow or moving down with Alt+DownArrow, extension doesn't auto-indent blocks of code.

Expected behavior

Auto-indentation should be added when moving up lines of code. I understand that some people would rather not have this feature added, but I think there should at least be a config option to enable/disable auto-indenting.

Can this issue be given a priority? @DonJayamanne @MikhailArkhipov

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any interest in this feature from other users. we won't be looking into this at this stage, as there are other bugs and features that are more popular and higher priority (with more users interested in them).

@DonJayamanne is this feasible? In which case we can make this a "Help Wanted" feature.

1. This would have to be done as part of the analysis engine, however.
2. Moving lines up/down is done by VSC, and we do not have any hooks on formatting the code as they move around. Hence we'll need to create our own commands to move lines up/down (creating our own edits..). This would lead to us duplicating what VSC does today with minor changes.

I'd kind of like format on paste, here we need format on line edit.
I.e. we need some VSC hooks to get this done correctly.

OK, based on the fact that we need VS Code hooks to implement this I'm going to close it. @sulkhanp if you are up for opening an issue at Microsoft/vscode for the appropriate APIs then we can re-open this once those APIs exist.
