Is this a bug? Was this intended as a feature? Could it be baked into a proper feature?

This is a feature

How is this supposed to work? Is it documented somewhere? Is it for developers use? It seems buggy at least. If I enable the arrows and then release the hotkeys, I cannot go back to drawing simple curves, it is like the effect is stuck in arrow mode and it expects some more input before exiting.

honestly I never used this feature and have no idea whether there is any documentation.
