There are two flavors of this that would be nice:

  1. I have a set of selections and I want to pick n of them at random
  2. I have a selection and I want to move it to as location randomly selected from a list of n destinations

I would like these features because they are useful when facilitating a group of people. If I want to randomly pick people to work on a task, for example, this is really useful.

huh interesting idea. I believe both 1) and 2) could be implemented using the same modifier "[n] random". Eg you could say

  • "take three random every item" to select three items from your list at random
  • "move this to random every item air" to move the text you have selected to a random item in the list containing air

Would be fairly easy to implement. Happy to point you in the right direction if you wanna take a swing. It doesn't sound like the most obviously useful modifier, but might be fun to implement 😊

I like that modifier-it has a nice ring to it and it sounds very intuitive. Point me in the right direction and maybe I will give it a shot if I can figure it out.
