How to move a line of text up/down in Nano linux command line editor?

Is there any analogue way to do that as in IntelliJ Idea:

  1. Place the caret at the line to be moved.
  2. Do one of the following:

On the main menu, choose Code | Move Line Up or Code | Move Line Down.

Press Shift+Alt+Up or Shift+Alt+Down.
