So yes that mode 2 would be just for translation then.
I take your point on the start/end brush thing but the Photoshop analogy was more to highlight the two differences of mode 2 vs mode 1, being that the selected tool stays in use till a different one is chosen, and operations are just a single click/drag.
I think we're basically on the same page now anyway.
Your idea on the double T mode sounds good, so long as it doesn't negatively impact users who like the system the way it is I guess. I wouldn't want to take responsibility for that.

I'll let you deal with the implementation details though as my attempts haven't been too well thought out.

Thanks for considering these ideas.
