Mouse cursor should indicate what the current tool is.

A good co-related feature would be something like "Ctrl" in The Gimp 1.3.17:

If you are using a tool, when holding Control key ("Ctrl"/^C) it automatically
toggles to move tool. When release ^C, it backs to the old tool.

the "Ctrl" part is too difficult to implement?

Yes, because Ctrl is used for multiple selection. You can always go back to
the move tool by pressing ESC. If you want to switch back to the tool before
move tool, you can use BACKSPACE.

Good!

Although it's kind hard to remeber, it helps a lot.

Is this documented? Where?

There is a tip avaible for it, but most users disable it after first
startup. Where would you expect it in the documentation?
