Curious — what just happened?

#1

I was writing outline of an essay in Sublime Text 3.2.1 build 3207, the text was (really the content of this text is not important, what happened to it is my focus)

## compare two biodatas

information keeps changing
at regular intervals (half-annually), a data collection team ingests new data
our company takes great pride in keeping "consolidated data", about ANY individual entitity (person or organization), free from errors
so, data update team is responsible for
	based on newly ingested data if an entitity exists in DB
		update existing info of that entitity to be accurate
		OTHERWISE if a new entitity is found, create it in DB
	3. keep track of changes
	4. keeping history of above changes

the main responsibilty
we are focusing on biodata, typically about people who work in organizations
	such data may be tabular, xml (mostly html (dirty non-w3c compliant)) or plain text or etc. format

a new biodata encounterd
	may be of 2 people
	may be of same person @different-times or @different-intents
	it may be of an entirely new person

suddenly, keyboard fell from my lap (right vertex of top edge (i.e. the edge near function keys) hit the ground first) and some key[s] got pressed, the final result when I got up and saw the screen again was:

I am curious why this happened, cuz I had no data selected but still it seems that two or more paragraphs got shuffled. Which keys do this to text? How is this feature helpful in programming/refactoring?

The lines are sorted. Edit -> Sort Lines

Wow, that was accurate & fast. How did you figure this out.

The key that got pressed was F9

It happens accidentally to some of us (pressing F9, that is).

Not with me anymore. I removed that damn key a long time ago after getting tired of if messing up my documents too many times. I installed the package https://packagecontrol.io/packages/Horizontal%20Scroll and set the keys:

    { "keys": ["f9"], "command": "scroll_width", "args": {"amount": 30 } },
    { "keys": ["alt+f9"], "command": "scroll_width", "args": {"amount": -30 } },
