FWIW I find the old xmon & terminal based d.rast.edit's 3 button
click-workflow to be incredibly well thought out and implemented. It
has a nice compromise of speed, simplicity, and caution which has a
natural feel to it. The need for an undo button is not as great if you
have a same-button confirmation click. Having to do a pseudo double
click doesn't slow you down much, and the mid-click higlight gives your
brain a chance to reconsider/redo.

The annoying thing with the old version is that you can't add a value
outside of that map's range, but that relic has nothing to do with the
workflow design.
