What do you guys think of an fl studio style piano roll mode?

Ive added with the help of ai, (I just wanted to see if it was possible ) an fl studio piano roll mode to the piano roll. its so much fun editing midi this way. if you have ever used fl , you know what i mean. check it out here. pianoroll: add FL Studio-style draw mode (FL mode) by pyrotek45 · Pull Request #1081 · Ardour/ardour · GitHub

even if no one uses this patch or whatever,thats ok, its not much code to implement however, and im sure devs could do a better job if they wanted. but wondering what peoples thoughts are on an fl mode for the piano roll? I have always felt that the way ardour edits midi is very clunky in comparison. like having the multi select as a different tool, and not letting you delete with right click was hard for me to unlearn from fl. anyways, should ardour have an fl mode? i think so!

Just to be clear here as well on the github PR … we will not implement an “FL button”. but we absolutelty want to take the best MIDI editing ideas from other DAWs, to the extent that they fit into an coherent and reasonable consistent model inside Ardour.
