Hi Rui:

It works fine, and I must admit that it is more pleasant this way.
However, this request has made me realize something.

When editing midi there was something that was making noise. It was hindering me. I didn't know what it was. Now it has become clear to me.
When you work, it is not clear to you which mode you are working in.
If we review all the comments in this thread, we see that this is a general feeling.

It is true that the status information is reflected in the button on the tool panel. But it is not entirely true either, because if you change modes with the Ctrl key it is not reflected.
Also, all the user's attention is focused on the cursor at that moment, he is not aware of other inputs.

The solution is obvious. The cursor must acquire the mode icon (including draw) when the mode is selected, not only when clicking.
I know that implementing it can be more difficult than it seems, because there are intermediate modes (grab to move, scale) that also call cursor changes.

The behavior should be:
- If I select Edit Off mode (selection): The behavior does not vary from the current one, because the "arrow" cursor is implicitly associated with the selection.

- If I select Edit On mode: The cursor becomes a pencil, except for grabbing and scaling. Making the cursor move one pixel down and to the left when performing the action (onClick) would improve the experience, but it is not essential.

- If I select Edit Draw mode: Equivalent to Edit On.

I leave it to your discretion.
