Hi, would it not be better to dock these tools ?

+1 for a dock widget. I wondered the same thing myself. This commit was a quick fix just to get the tools graphically functional on Mac (and maybe other platforms).

There could be one toolbar button for the measuring tool, which opens (or puts focus on) the dock widget. Then, the dock widget could contain the different measuring tools and icons, to switch between them. Or, the toolbar actions could be left as is, and the dock contents switched when the toolbar tool changes (though, I prefer first option with the tool actions part of the dock widget).
