@kbd{C-M-t} (@code{transpose-sexps}) is a similar command for

(@code{transpose-lines}) exchanges lines. They work like @kbd{M-t}

+except as regards the units of text they transpose.
A numeric argument to a transpose command serves as a repeat count: it
-tells the transpose command to move the character (word, expression, line)
-before or containing point across several other characters (words,
-expressions, lines). For example, @kbd{C-u 3 C-t} moves the character before
-point forward across three other characters. It would change
-@samp{f@point{}oobar} into @samp{oobf@point{}ar}. This is equivalent to
-repeating @kbd{C-t} three times. @kbd{C-u - 4 M-t} moves the word
-before point backward across four words. @kbd{C-u - C-M-t} would cancel
-the effect of plain @kbd{C-M-t}.
