Something like selecting visually 1 mac, then I go to the next mac and when I select it push a keybinding and the macs addresses interchange their places.

The simpler way I know is:

1) select first text
2) delete with d
3) select second text
4) paste first text with p (this deletes the second text)
5) go back to the first position
6) paste with p

In step 3), if you jump to the second text with "<line>G", you can go
back to the first position in step 5) with a simple ``.

Otherwise, you can still use named register to make sure you make no
mistake.

Best,
