From the Design Menu under weft, the following options are available:
The repeat offers special options documented here: Weft Repeats
The shift options (right, left, up and down) also work with the arrow keys on selected weft.
Mirror and Mirror All: This option works on the selected region (Mirror) or all the weft (Mirror All). It pivots at the last weft pick and starts to mirror the weft. The end result adds the number of weft threads, minus one.
Change Face: in the selected region, weft that is drawn-in undone, and where there is no weft drawn- in it is changed to drawn-in. This option is not available when there is a tie-up; it only works on lift plan weft.
Flip: flips the columns in the selected area such that what is in the first column is in the last, second column in next to last, etc. This can be thought of as rotating around a vertical axis.
Reverse: reverse flips the values in the columns and also reverses the order of the rows. This can be thought of as rotating around a horizontal axis.
Fill Weft:
First, select your region in the weft using select tool (this also works for partial area selections) and then click Weft | Fill on the Design tab. Select whether to fill to the left or right of the design line and click apply.
This is the result after the above operation:

Shift Operations: Shift operations move the threads in the selected region left, right, up or down. In addition to using the menu options, the left, right, up and down arrow keys may be used.
It's important to note that if you hold the shift key down while doing these operations, wrapping is turned off.
Also, the selected region stays selected, so repeated operations, especially efficient if the arrows are pressed multiple times, allowing for shifting multiple times.
