Ctrl +f Cycle tool mode

[Jorg Torgesson]

Pressing Ctrl+f should allow people to cycle tool modes left to right, without opening and clicking the menu.  A little faster and easier than the mouse menu, maybe configurable as an alternative option in controls

As with all things there is a mod. This would be a good feature to add to the game itself though, perhaps with an on-screen indicator to tell you which mode you're currently using.

Isn't there already one? Or is that only clayforming. TBH, never really paid much attention.

I haven't seen one? But given how many years I've been poking the voxels, if I haven't seen it yet it maybe needs to be louder  and then, all this stuff, propick, chisel, smithing, clay, AND whatever I'm forgetting should all use the same mechanism.

It's at the top of the screen, to the right of block info. In most cases you have to point at a relevant block (e.g. at an anvil if holding a hammer) for it to be visible.

If Sprint + F or Crouch + F to cycle tool modes were to be added (I would prefer Crouch + F), then I would want that indicator, maybe along with the mode's name, to show up next to the cursor for a moment when switching modes. Perhaps it could also appear briefly when switching tools or when the cursor is moved over a relevant block. Maybe have an option to just keep it there at all times as well, though it would have to be mostly transparent or otherwise less obtrusive.
