            Bug ID: 129273
           Summary: EDITING: Swap-Text feature request
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: luke.kendall at gmail.com

When editing my writing, I often wish to swap two phrases or clauses that are
comma, conjunction, or otherwise separated:
TEXT1, blah blah, and TEXT2.
It would be helpful to be able to swap TEXT1 and TEXT2, but until today I
couldn't think of a simple UI to enable that, because you need two separate
selections.

Here's the idea for how to do it: 

1) select and CUT one text item. (LO is enhanced to remember that insertion
point.)
2) select a 2nd piece of text
3) Choose the Swap Text function.  The current selection is copied as-is into
the remembered insertion point, and the previously cut text is then copied down
over the current selection.

Please consider!
