Problem description
I'm always frustrated when drawing diagrams especially mind maps and I notice that it would be much better to place a selection of the tree to the opposite side, then finding myself redrawing the branch. Also I think when importing graphics it might be useful in a lot of cases to be able to mirror an image so that for example a hand or a sign/symbol would point to the exact opposite direction.
Considered solution
It would be neat to have a button on the left panel under the selection tab which allows mirroring both horizontally and vertically. It might be considerable to wrap both options in a "dropdown"-menu so you don't bloat the panel too much. An icon could be a rectangle which is being split in either direction with a dotted-line or smth. similiar. Also it might be considerable to add buttons that appear below a selection after you've selected content that allow one to do things like cutting, pasting, mirroring, etc.
Considered alternatives
Well the only alternative method I've found is other than redrawing, having to export my selection then mirror it and then import it as an image again, which is a lot of hassle for such a "simple" user interaction.
