Shifting and middle clicking will "pick tool"

(For survival mode) Similar to pick block, but doing it while shifting will give the ideal tool in your hand to mine the block youre looking at. Doing it again when the tool is already in your hand will cycle with other tools of that type if any are in your inventory. Doing this while facing a mob will give you a sword.

Example: I am looking at a diamond ore, and want to mine it, but my pick is not in the hotbar. I middle click the ore while shifting and i get my pickaxe with silk touch. I middle click again (while shifting) and i get my fortune pickaxe. i then do this same thing while looking at a zombie, and it gives me my sword.

    That is a pretty cool idea. Would speed up things a lot, specially for axe, shovel and hoe, not everything is kept in hotbar.

    I always thought this will be a pretty good idea. I hope this is someday actually released in the game.

    The best part about this idea is how much more space will be available on the hotbar. Most players already have a majority of their space taken up by tools, weapons, shields, torches, food, totems, etc, and there's hardly any room for blocks when you're building. Having all of the basic tools relegated to one hotbar slot gives more room for blocks and decorations that the player might want to place.

    I love this idea, another way of implementing it would be if you already have the block that you are looking at in your hand and you middle click then it gives you the tool and just middle clicking on a hostile mob gives you your sword. Also, if you do it on a sheep it could give you shears, on a cow you get a bucket, and other special tools for passive mobs.
