you hit the issue on the head. all of this is not very fast,
except ctrl-shift-a, but that is a shortcut. also the tool
changing feels awkward, and is simply likely if one has operated
on the selected pixels.
what I am missing is a direct way to end the selection state.

- like a close box [x] on the top-right of the marching ants
- or (another shortcut actually) press <esc> (may be taken in some
states)
