Workflow Suggestion for Mesh Select Mode 2.8
Recently the hotkey for switching between edge, vert, face select was switched from 1 hotkey to 3 hotkeys. To help keep a faster workflow in mind I suggest a left-click/right-click menu to switch between these modes and using alt+left-click/right-click to move the 3D cursor. I think a menu like this would also be helpful to have some other mesh features, like changing origin to selection and changing normals face direction.

I would suggest you to have a pie menu editor that pop up with the spacebar, with those shortcut on it
@righigeneral: I think whatever it is it should be a single hotkey. I wouldn't be opposed to a pie menu. I think the click is a good option because it's a wasted hotkey. I don't think anyone uses the 3D cursor often enough to warrent it being the default to a click.
I think that would be much better as well. I do not know about anybody else but I am always accidentally moving the 3D cursor due to an unintentional right click, this would also resolve that little problem. Another idea is that you could have a button that enables a 3D-cursor-re-position-mode in that same menu that has edge, vertex, face selection options. Though I do not dislike the 1,2&3 hotkeys, I say leave them but also have a left-click/right-click menu.
