Commands

transpose_character: Swaps two characters, reverses a selection, swaps two lines, or rotates multiple selections.

The behavior of transpose_character changes depending on the location of the cursor and the selection.

If the cursor (|) is in between two letters (anything other than a newline), it will swap them:

te|h => the|

At the beginning or end of a line, the behavior is to swap the lines:

1. klmno|    1. abcde     1. abcde
2. abcde  => 2. klmno| => 2. fghij
3. fghij     3. fghij     3. klmno|


1. fghij     1. fghij    1.|abcde
2. klmno  => 2.|abcde => 2. fghij
3.|abcde     3. klmno    3. klmno

If there is one selection, the selection cursor will be reversed in place. This means you can move the cursor to the beginning or end of the selection, which is very useful for extending line selections.

If there are multiple selections, the it swaps each pair of regions.

‹abc›-DEF-‹123›-‹456› => DEF-‹abc›-‹456›-‹123› => ‹abc›-DEF-‹123›-‹456›
