Detailed Description

Modes are implemented with the IMode class. Use the ModeManager to force activation of a mode, or to be notified when the active mode changed.

The ModeManager also manages the actions that are visible in the mode selector's toolbar. Adding actions to the tool bar should be done very sparingly.
