I'm a fan of shortcuts and I think this would make the workflow of this software much better. Maybe u can add a a few shortcuts on to the number keys on top of the keyboard.
or add an option to do so...
I find assigning the Esc key is in easy reach and the ring finger got used to it.
As commented by a few users here, there are customization options for keyboard shortcuts so you could assign any keyboard shortcut to these tools.
The Pick tool can be activated from other tools by using the Space bar (on Windows). Space bar is for toggling between the Pick tool and another tool (previously selected). Note that there is one exception: While using the text tool the Space bar adds a space in the edited text - in that scenario Ctrl+Space lets you return to the Pick tool.
The number keys at the top of the keyboard are by default assigned to "Recall Selection Group" no. x. If you like to use it for other tools used more frequently in your workflow you can reassign it to the tool of your choice:
You could also add it to your Document Desktop Right-Click dialog thru the Context Menu bar dialog
Changing scale on the fly was god send and saved the hassles of clickity click clicks
You can add your own shortcuts for these tools
