texjerandBrandon Thomas b37bff987c Cmd held is the Move tool with the painting tools (Cmd+Alt duplicates) (#2248)
Photoshop switches to the Move tool while Cmd (Ctrl off the Mac) is held
with every tool but the Hand, Rotate View, Zoom, Crop, Slice, Path Selection,
shape, Pen and Type tools. #896 did this for the selection tools per press; this
does it for the rest (Brush, Eraser, Gradient, Clone Stamp, Eyedropper, ...).

hold_keys gains Temporary::Move (a modifier, not a rebindable key); the
canvas sets PhotocraftApp::tool_override for the frame and the tool state
machine, the Move tool's selection check (move_ui::moves_selected_pixels)
and the tool modules that gate on the tool read active_tool(). The held-tool
latch now lasts through the release frame, otherwise the Move's Up went to
the selected tool. So Cmd-drag with the Brush moves the layer, Cmd+Alt-drag
duplicates it first (move_mods), Cmd-drag with a selection floats the
selected pixels, and Cmd-click picks the layer under the pointer.

Off the Mac, Cmd+Alt is Ctrl+Alt, which the brush tools keep for the
on-canvas resize (brush_resize, also Alt+right-drag there): with a brush
tool Ctrl+Alt-drag resizes, with the other tools (Gradient, Eyedropper...) it
duplicates. Tests pin both layouts on any host. docs/control-protocol.md
describes `command` on ui.pointer events.
