Bug Description
Could someone add a button to the radial gradient editing panel or the gradient editor dialog that creates a new gradient like the one in the selected object, except with all the gradient stops at 1 - (stop location), and then assigns the new gradient to the current object?
I often use gradients for shading because they render faster than blurred objects, and other programs that try to display SVG files are more likely to implement gradients than blurring. Sometimes I'll want to use the same tones for multiple SVG objects, in which case it would be nice to have a quick way to turn a gradient used for a highlight (center of the gradient is light) into a gradient useful for a shadow (center of the gradient is dark) or vice-versa.
I suggest adding it to the Radial Gradient editing page, since the feature isn't necessary for Linear Gradients or swathes, but if it's more convenient to include it in the Gradient Editor dialog box for some reason, then that would work too.

You can revert a gradient easily using the gradient tool, please see the details in the manual:
«The keyboard shortcut Shift+R reverses the Gradient direction when the Gradient Tool is active. This is especially useful for radial Gradients where one cannot just drag the Gradient handles to reverse the Gradient. » tavmjong. free.fr/ INKSCAPE/ MANUAL_ v16/html/ Attributes- Fill-Stroke. html#Attributes -Gradients>
