switch button

[Victor Westmann]

Hi there. Thank you very much for this super duper cool piece of software! I use it since version 0.32 and love it. Still use it. :)

I was just wondering if we can have a switch measures button to add in inkscape. It would switch measures from width and height.

Also, if possible, another switch button to switch colors. From fill to stroke. And from stroke to fill colors.

Thank you very much! Keep up the hard work for this amazing software.

Could you provide more details (e.g. mockups) about the proposed features?

Is this about the units used to display lengths or coordinates in Inkscape?

The context menu of the color swatches of the style for the current selection in the status bar have several related commands. Is this what you are requesting? Where would you add the "switch button" (presumably several of them) in the GUI?

(command in context menu does not have a verb (yet))

Just a small button to swap colors (from foreground to background) or measures (exchange height value with the width value fields.)
