Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing issues

Current behavior

When I use ALT + Up/Down arrow key in request body to rearrange lines in body, it changes request type as well.
Consider this scenario:

Now in test2 line I used ALT + Up Key:

Notice, request type is also changed to POST

Steps to reproduce

Set a request type, say "GET"
Add multiple lines in body, in my case I added JSON
Reorder JSON field text line using shortcut ALT + Up/Down
Observe request type

Environment

Production

Version

Cloud

@liyasthomas I have raised a PR to close this, restricting alt+up and alt+down functions (which have custom implementations in codemirror), please let me know if it's fine, or a more generic approach has to be taken. Would really appreciate a PR review.
