Ahh, I see. I think I understand why I was confused. With "Pencil Mark" icon you mean the "-/--" button just to the left of the undo/redo buttons, right?
Strictly speaking, this button is not a "pencil mark" button. Its function is rather to switch the GUI processing of a short press into that of a long press, and vice versa. So when this button is activated, a short press on the screen is then transformed internally into a long press.
In Solo, a short press into a cell marks it in full, a long press marks it with the pencil mark triangle.
Anyway, I'm indeed considering your proposal, have to think a little bit about it. What would speak against it is that this then deviates in handling from the Android app; from where I adapted this button.

I think this would improve the UI a bit. But I'm not sure.

I think this would only be a minor improvement; and furthermore it would need to trigger an additional redraw every time you switch the mode. Redraw efficiency is an important aspect with developing eInk apps. On the other hand, as it is only a small area, the redraw might be ok. Needs to be tested.

For the automatic switch of highlighted cells with the 'short/long swap' button, I can give you some hints, I will write something in the Developers Corner thread.
