I'm using keyboard to move notes vertically, up and down keys. ctrl+up or down for one octave move. Works on any selection. Same can be done with items across tracks. My keymap setting: Num 2 - Item edit: Move items down one track Num 8 - Item edit: Move items up one track This for items. For notes, I set this up in MIDI Editor keymap: Down - Edit: Move notes down one semitone Up - Edit: Move notes up one semitone Ctrl+Down - Edit: Move notes down one octave Ctrl+Up - Edit: Move notes up one octave This is fast enough for me.
