Hi Matthias,
I not familiar with "replace fragment", so I have a few questions.  Is it always the same number of residues in source and target?  Is it always polymeric residues, and the same type of polymer (amino acids, nucleic acids)?  I assume you have to use the backbone conformation of the target.  Are the side chain angles preserved in any way?
It's possible this could be implemented as sort of a macro around multiple swapaa/swapna commands.

Dear ChimeraX team, 
 
Thanks a lot for developing the amazing tool that is ChimeraX! I use it extensively for model building, and would like to request a functionality to replace a residue selection in one model from residues in another model (similar to what is possible in coot via the replace fragment functionality). I am aware that this currently possible by a combination of delete, combine, and changechains, but it would be great if this could be shortcutted.
 
Many thanks in advance,
Matthias
