Swap Vector Direction Built into QGIS 3.4 as Reverse Line tool

QGIS 3.4 and later do the main job of Swap Vector Direction natively, with Reverse Line tool. You can use that instead of installing the plugin. The Reverse Line digitizing tool flips a line's direction while editing.

How to use Reverse Line tool

1. Select the line layer in the Layers panel and toggle editing.
2. Click Reverse Line on the Advanced Digitizing toolbar.
3. Click a line to reverse it. On a multipart line, only the part under the cursor is reversed.
4. To reverse every line in a layer at once, run Reverse line direction from Vector geometry in the Processing Toolbox.
