Just had what I thought was a brilliant idea.

How many times have you been editing code (or your latest novel) and highlighted text you want to replace - then realised you first need to highlight the text you want to replace it with?

(OK, maybe not all that often, but often enough!)

so, how about some key/mouse combination that is effectively:
Select Destination for paste.
Select source for copy.

say, for example, you have:

var foo = "hello world";
var result = SomeMethod("G'Day world");


You drag the mouse over "G'Day world" (or otherwise highlight it)
Press ctrl-alt-V (select paste destination)
Your mouse cursor changes to something appropriate.
You drag the mouse over foo (or otherwise highlight it)
Press ctrl-alt-C (select copy source)
the result
var foo = "hello world";
var result = SomeMethod(foo);


Seriously - genius, no?
