Release Notes:

• Changed Alt+Up/Down from selecting larger/smaller syntax nodes to moving line up/down. This is the default behavior from VSCode, which is what the JSON section is labeled as.
• Added Alt+Shift+Up/Down as duplicating lines up/down, as this is also the default VSCode behavior. These key bindings were also unused previously, so this is simply an addition.

Could you propose a different keybinding for select larger/smaller syntax node which this PR removes?

Personally I'm not a fan of this change. I think Zed should maintain its own out-of-the-box flavour, but I see the VS Code binding is the default one. I'd propose to create a new VS Code keybinding file, but that would hinder first timers experience and discoverability.

Is there any key bind that you prefer? it would appear all reasonable keybinds with an Up/Down arrow have been taken in this circumstance...

Hey! Let's continue discussion about this in #8584, which I just reopened, since it's the older of the two PRs. @EvanZhouDev can you leave your thoughts over there as well? And thank you for opening the PR, appreciate it.
