Description

Since you can make two seperate text selections (make a selection in some text, now hold down the command key and make a selection somewhere else in your document) it would nice to have a "swap selections" command to swap the positions of the two selected chunks of text. Most likely under the "Edit" menu, and with a hotkey.

A command like this would helpful because it reduces the many steps currently required to swap two paragraphs: make selection, cut, position cursor at destination, paste, select block two, cut, reposition cursor at new destination, paste (sometimes there are more steps if scrolling is involved). With a swap command this becomes: select block one, select block two, swap. From eight steps down to three.

In a prior application I used, it had a supertwiddle that swapped characters, words, paragraphs or whole notes depending on where the selection started and ended. It was smart enough to use the same command for all these.

It was amazingly useful.
