Any time you implement a hotkey, it should consist of a tool and/or menu
selection followed by an equivalent left click action at the current
cursor position. The problem is that the current behavior disables the
highlight tool and enables the selection tool every time you perform a
move (and I'm guessing other hotkey tools as well). I would be happy if
you just implemented a short cut to enable the highlight tool so I
didn't have to constantly move the cursor to the right toolbar to
re-enable the highlight tool after a move action using the 'm' hotkey.
The other option would be to reselect the highlight tool after the
hotkey move action was complete.
