When quick-select (tool shortcuts) is enabled, a letter is displayed at the top left corner of the icons of some tools. Pressing the indicated letter on the keyboard while drawing switches to that tool; e.g. pressing the 'H' key to enable the Hand tool when using the default mappings. You can customize the mappings of quick-select from the Configure / Shortcut Keys menu:

Clicking the middle mouse button (or pressing the click-wheel) toggles the current tool with the most recently used tool; pressing it again reverses the change. This can also be accomplished by pressing the Tab key on the keyboard.
