ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
For over a decade I have used Ctrl+Alt+Up/Down to duplicate lines.
It appears that as of 2022-03-10,
[Multicursors](https://kate-editor.org/post/2022/2022-03-10-ktexteditor-multicursor/)
has (VERY frustratingly) overwritten the shortcut. There is no shortcut now for
duplicating lines.
This is so extremely frustrating that I have stopped using Kate temporarily
(after over a decade!) because my default coding habits are now setting
multicursors (which I don't care for nor want) instead of simply duplicating a
line.
Acceptable fixes would be either: (a) allow a disable multicursors option to
reset the shortcut, (b) set another shortcut for duplicate lines, or (c)
allowing users to select/create a shortcut for duplicating lines.
