Bug Description
Hey, it's a bit of a hassle to swap between the starting and ending node colors in a radial gradient. E.g., if my radial gradient's center / starting point is blue, and the end points along the outermost edge of the gradient are red... but i want the radial gradient to be the same shade of red at the center, and the shade of blue at the outer edge - it's a bit of a hassle to accomplish this using the gradient editor dialog, involving copy/pasting of hexadecimal values into a text editor and back.
It would be a nice little functionality if you could right-click a radial (or even a linear) gradient with the gradient tool and do a swap, in the same way you can right click in selected colors in the lower left of the inkscape window and swap between fill and stroke.
Just an idea! I thought it would be a cool feature. Thanks for considering! :)

<https:/
(A shortcut to reverse a gradient already exists in the gradient tool context, but it lacks a more visible counterpart in the UI - be it in the gradient tool controls bar, as button in the fill&stroke dialog or even as option in the context menu of the style indicator swatches. The gradient editor dialog is considered as deprecated and to be replaced by on-canvas editing and addtional GUI elements on the gradient tool controls bar).
