Hi Jason, As a BBEdit user, I missed "twiddle". The NW macro I wrote does all sorts of twiddlings, as the write-up says. If you are interested, mail me off-list. Cheers - - Modeled after BBEdit 'twiddle' Suggested shortcut: cmd ` (as in BBEdit) Selections may be contiguous or not. Word boundaries as per NW rules 3 words: A B C -> C B A 2 words: A B -> B A 2 or 3 character strings: swap 1st and last string 1 word or a character string: swap 1st and last character No selection: swap characters adjacent to the cursor 1 character or > 3 words: do nothing Tested OK with NW 4.1.6. NW 5.1.2 goes berserk when non contiguous selections addresses are in decreasing order
