Suppose you have a statement (C/C++/Java/etc):

alpha = beta;

and you want to change it to:

beta = alpha;

Try this mapping:

noremap <C-S> :s/\([^ =]*\)\([ ]*\)=[ ]*\([^;]*\);/\3 = \1;/<CR>:nohl<CR>

<C-S> may cause Unix terminals to suspend. Replace with <F2> or something easy to remember for your own purposes.

This mucks with your current matched highlighting selections; thus the trailing :nohl. If someone knows how to do this without mucking with the incremental searches jot it down.
