In my vision, pencil - is the symbol of the edit action.
If you look to left sidebar of the kicad window (on attached image from
previous message), you can see icons without pencil. That icons of the
files (pcb, schematic, libraries, netlist, etc.).
On the instrumental panel of the kicad window placed similar icons with
pencil, that indicate a tool for editing specific file.
