Swap the position of 2 selected elements or artboards

Have a simple utility keyboard shortcut or icon in the alignment panel for swapping places of two selected elements. Simply interchange X and Y between the 2 selected objects. It'd be useful when selecting 2 art boards as well.

    This is a must. Figma has it and it is fantastic. Too much time is wasted manually dragging things out of the way and placing them in the new position.

    Figma has this Figma and I may just want to switch because of that.

    Swap the position of elements by clicking "Flip Horizontally" or "Flip Vertically" when I choose multiple objects

    After using sketch for a bit, I really realized how valuable this feature would be to XD users. It would save so much time doing basic donkey work.

    Had the same idea after using XD for 5 mins.

    Two objects selected: Swap places
    Three or more selected: Rotate places (cw or ccw)

    This would be an absolutely fantastic feature.

    A lot of time is spent moving things from left to right, or swapping icons out - which means manually dragging them into the correct position - would be great to have a shortcut for this.

    I'd to love a tool that switch objects positions. If I want to set an new icon to the icon button, I select the actual icon and the old icon and click on "switch objects".
