I have an idea for an easy improvement for the user experience in the segmentation editor. Personally, It took me quite a while to find out that there are shortcuts to the tools in this module. Why not include hints to the shortcuts in the text that appears when you hover the mouse over the tool?

I would like to hear your thoughts on this. I think it would not add much clutter to the UI.
