An error occurred while saving the comment Leon, it feels like the exact thing native Transform panel can do. If you select two guides (let’s say vertical ones), the panel displays the distance between them as 'width', and the reference point block allows you to choose which side you want to stick to when changing it.
It is not that accessible as you want in the request, no context menu (there is a separate request to have it generally customizable, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32692501-right-click-menu-enhancements-cut-copy-paste-l), and you can’ use a hotkey to quickly focus the Width and Height fields in Transform sections of Properties/Control/Transform panels (there is another request to have it, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/34613497-transform-shortcuts), and you have to set the reference point by clicking, instead of hotkey-ing one (there is a request for this too, https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657-illustrator-desktop-feature-requests/suggestions/32403805-make-setting-reference-point-hotkeyable) but it’s doable.
Finally, you can also flip with the reference point set up, with Flip Horizontally / Vertically commands from the Transform panel’s menu (which can be put into an action, but not assigned to a direct hotkey).How does it differ from the task you have at hand? Please comment back.

An error occurred while saving the comment It has criminally little votes.
I’d suggest something like holding Ctrl to enable this. Feels like a good mnemonic rule to me, 'Control the angle!' :)
Meanwhile I know of the paid plugin that does this but in a different way, InkScribe by AstuteGraphics. It feels different than the Pen but is considered to be a much better alternative by some users. It also fixes other issues the Pen has. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Tony, for now you can use this script:
https://ais.sergosokin.ru/view/zoom-and-center/An error occurred while saving the comment There's a script that does this. Record an action that launches is and bind it to the shortcut.
The native way though will be great thing to have. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Janaid, you can do it now, with a small limitation. It works in 90%, because Ai has some legacy limitation on types of objects to be used in Global Edit, because it’s based on creating a temporary symbol, and symbols still don’t support live text and images, placed or linked. Meshes are OK, strangely.
To replace an object using Global Edit, copy the thing you want to replace with, then select the one copy you want to be replaced and enter the mode. Then isolate the chosen object (Isolate Selected Object button on Control panel or a custom assigned hotkey) — this will allow you to paste the replacement and delete the old art. If you delete first, Ai exits the mode, so paste first, delete after, then exit.
Now you have your object replaced.There is also another solution to make it a bit simpler — the Global Edit to Symbol script by the brilliant Takashi-san:
https://sttk3.com/blog/tips/illustrator/global-edit-to-symbol2.html
It is a paid solution, but if you need this often, it might worth it.Please comment back if it works for you as a workaround.

An error occurred while saving the comment What happens now... now we wait until Ai fixes other urgent bugs until this one gets picked, if ever picked. Unfortunately the list is stupendously long, and there can be several years until it happens.
The team tires to pick these up on the way, but the bandwidth is limited.
Generally, the more votes the request gets, the higher is the chance for it to be proceeded.
Try to bring more attention to it and hope for the better. Sadly, this is as much as much I can promise. The idea is nice and I hope it gets noticed.AdminEgor Chistyakov

An error occurred while saving the comment So you offer Ai to track if the placed document have the same names for swatches and ask a user, which one does he want to use for merging, am I correct? Per swatch or for all at once, with a simple dialog?
This sounds plausible to me.Thanks for bringing this up. I can imagine what problems it could have been causing, especially when the difference between colors is not that prominent and you have a lot of them.
An error occurred while saving the comment Perhaps it can’t be done that easily or at all... what happens if you place another file with another values for the same named swatches? Which child then should control the parent? The latest one? The first one? It will bring more chaos that control, if a child will be allowed to perform such a backwards inverted logic, to have the parent adapt the data from the child...
How do you plan to solve this?

An error occurred while saving the comment Drew, there are several Expand operations in Illustrator, and it’s easy to get confused with them, because they all are named in a similar fashion.
'Object > Expand Appearance' here will turn your complex appearance into a set of simpler objects. So you live arrowheads and live adjusted dashes get converted into real circles and series of connected lines. So 'Expand Appearance' disassembles complex appearance into a simpler appearance.
'Object > Expand' should convert complex objects into simpler objects. Strokes to fills, blends to arrays of copies, gradient fills to flat fills or meshes. But notice that here you can’t use this command, it’s grayed out! This happens (and I can’t agree with that, I'll explain why below) because you use complex appearance, arrowheads specifically. Illustrator can’t expand strokes before you expand appearance, because it may alter the appearance.
But what to do then?
Use 'Object > Blend > Expand'! Normally 'Object > Expand' on a live blend does the same, but here Ai gets confused with arrowheads. This will make your blend into an array of intermediate steps as lines, with live appearance, which you later can expand with 'Expand appearance', AFTER you expand the blend.See, the problem is that when you Expand Appearance first, the blend stays live (Expand Appearance never expand blends, as stated above, it’s a different aspect). So now Ai have to blend your expanded adjusted dashes and separated arrowheads — and because these new shapes don't exactly match, the blends goes awry.
TLDR: first expand blend, with the dedicated command, and the appearance after to have consistent result.
Does it help you to solve the problem?

This can be done with native Recolor options dialog, just with dragging one chip over the other. Please refer to the comment inside for details.
An error occurred while saving the comment I believe it’s quite simple.
Open the Recolor panel (the full one) and just simply drag a new color chip over the other, just like the GIF attached shows.
The hint even says so — double-click to edit, drag to swap.
I wonder though — how did you try it and why it didn’t work for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment You definitely should describe what do you mean exactly, even if you think it’s obvious as an orange. Don’t fall into a trap of shared expectations, give some details. Some might say there is no differences at all between these two. What matters to you exactly, and what aspects do you think worth 'stealing' — and why?

An error occurred while saving the comment I have a custom Autohotkey solution for this, extremely useful. Unfortunately it’s Windows only solution. To pull it on Mac you'd have to use Karabiner.
An error occurred while saving the comment In case if you are interested, it looks like this:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/kksm236mthjy7xw/fields_jump.gif
I use NumPad hotkeys to access all fileds.BTW, reference points change is recordable through actions, although in my setup it is done via AHK too.
An error occurred while saving the comment I feel that, Barry. I had the same problem and fixed it for me using Autohotkey for Windows. What is your OS?

There's a method to save a current workspace, but a not very user-friendly.
Create a new workspace and try to save it using the very same name the current one has. This will override it and thus save the changes.
Not very convenient, I agree.
