The right mouse button functionality I described, is exclusive to the 
mode buttons. It does not interfere in any way with right-mouse functions 
during routing, or on objects.

The concept of a hierarchy of tools is one of the aspects I explicitly 
dislike with qcad. It is a pain to constantly move up and down this 
hierarchy and keep the current position in the hierarchy in mind. The 
most important tools should be readily available, no matter what.
