Alt (⌥) + Up / Down arrow should navigate to the next empty line.
Alt (⌥) + Shift + Up / Down arrow should navigate to the next empty line of the same indentation leve.

This would allow for quicker navigation between code blocks.
Comment 2 Milutin Kristofic 2013-04-24 15:04:05 UTC 
In Netbeans, Alt + Up/Down is used for next occurence of variable. Which editor has such actions(next empty line)? IMHO, There is no use in them.
Comment 3 erusev 2013-04-24 15:13:55 UTC 
It doesn't have to be Alt. I suggested it, because it is not taken in the Mac version if NetBeans.

As to your question, Vim has a similar feature.

Have you been in situations where you have to navigate through large blocks of code?
