Activate or change to one of these circuits using the menu (isn't it a popup menu in fact?).

The reasoning behind this proposal is that both circuits are very different in nature, and it's not usual to change from one activities to the other.
I second this option, should be more than enough space on the status bar at the bottom. And I still think after zooming, the next natural state is panning (I zoom to see details more clearly and then often have to move around -- is it just me?), so it would be logical to go to pan mode automatically. Full screen could be re-enabled by pressing the icon.
