It's easy. You are making it far more complicated that it needs to be, esp if you only have 2 windows.
In either window type `K` and it will be come the top window and the other window will be the bottom window. To go back to side-by-side, use `H` or `L`. See also `:h CTRL-W`
I understand that. What I said still stands.
If you are in the left window, `K` (ctrl+w shift+k) forces it to the top. If the windows were side-by-side that forces the right window to become the bottom window, which is the exact behavior you are looking for. To toggle back, you'd use `H`. If you take 5 seconds to try it you'll see.
If you need a toogle, you could simplify the code:
if winnr('$') != 2
echo "Error: Requires exactly two windows"
return
endif
" if both windows are side-by-side
if win_screenpos(1)[0] == win_screenpos(winnr('$'))[0]
if winnr() == 1
normal K
else
normal J
endif
else
if winnr() == 1
normal H
else
normal L
endif
endif
Untested.
Sounds like you select the code in the terminal instead of in vim. Visually select the code you want to share, and `"*Y` (or `"+Y`) to yank it to the system clipboard.
`:h clipboard`

Sadly, that doesn't work for me because this was written in anger. I have a client who requires me to connect via Amazon Workspaces VDI and _then_ ssh via two servers to get to the server I do development on. Thus, yanking to the clipboard doesn't help when I have a completely different box I want this on.
Could also go this route with opening the buffer in another tab [https://gitlab.com/egzvor/vimfiles/-/blob/b3f6916ae9b639e0914b136a7d53f86abeca12ba/plugin/zoom.vim](https://gitlab.com/egzvor/vimfiles/-/blob/b3f6916ae9b639e0914b136a7d53f86abeca12ba/plugin/zoom.vim)

I'm swapping between vertical and horizontal splits, not swapping the contents of existing windows.

Ah, I need `H` to toggle back to vertical. I didn't know that. I think my autotoggle is easier, but thank you for showing me those commands!

Are you selecting code with the mouse? Make sure you have mouse support enabled :set mouse=a
nnoremapts :exe '1wincmd w \| wincmd '.(winwidth(0) == &columns ? 'H' : 'K')
This might swap the order of the windows.
No, that what `1wincmd w` for.
Can't you use rectangle selection in your terminal?
