My suggestion is to easily reverse the start and end points of a line. There is an option when creating a line that gives the option to choose "Start", "Middle" or "End". Later on , for example, I sometimes need to change a lines' start and end points to be reversed. These locatons are shown "Property Editor" as "Start Point" with X and Y locations and "End Point with X and Y locations. All I need is as a command that will change the "Start Point" X and Y locations to the "End Point" X and Y locations and the "End Point" X and Y locations to the "Start Point" X and Y locations. This should leave the line in the same place on the drawing. The command name could be "FlipXY" for any type of straight line I would think. It would sure be handy!
Currently I can rotate a line by selecting the "Middle" and rotating 180 degrees. If there is already a one-click command to do this operation, I couldn't find it in the Reference Manual.
I am using QCAD 3.26 on a Desktop machine running Linuxmint 20.3, 2 -2.6 GHz processors and 8 GB memory with a 43" diagional monitor. I also have a little Apple laptop as a backup machine that runs just about everything that runs on the Linux box including QCAD 3.26. I think it's great that you provide the various version of QCAD with your distributions. I'm looking forward to version 3.

Re: Reverse a lines Start and End points
Actually, why isn't the icon for the "Reverse" command shown in the tool matrix?

Re: Reverse a lines Start and End points
It is on my system. Go to Edit> Application Preferences, in the General section select Tool Settings. In the Filter field type Reverse, select Reverse from the results and in the Visibility tab check Tool matrix.

Re: Reverse a lines Start and End points

Re: Reverse a lines Start and End points
3 hours ago Andrew added it to the Toolmatrix.
See ReverseInit.js: https://github.com/qcad/qcad/tree/maste ... fy/Reverse
Still excluded for the ModifyToolsPanel.
That is for a new update/snapshot.
