HI

Now that the left click can be assigned many functionalities, it gets confusing know which mode one is in. This issue becomes more important if the top bar headers are hidden or in full screen mode.

I propose that the icons that represents the modes (via the space bar context menu) also shown next to or below the actual mouse cursor in the 3d view. For instance the tweak mode (W) can be reprensented by the triangle as seen in the attached picture Screenshot - 11_29_2018 , 4_03_44 PM.png

It's a good idea but not a bug.
