Ctrl-A for applying modifier under cursor (2.91) not active (2.92-2.93)

This is the first thing I noticed when first tested geometry nodes in 2.92 alpha. The new concept of active modifier broke extremely convinient workflow.

Geometry Nodes

I’m learning geometry nodes and I believe there is a new concept introduced in 2.92 — active modifier state. It broke the previous behavior where you only needed to hover over the modifier and then use hotkey to apply, duplicate or delete it. Now the hotkeys only work with selected modifier and the hover state is ignored. New change has broke a really good workflow. Is anyone discussing it? Can anyone point me to the thread?

I think UX team should think of a solution to bring this back. It’s probably too late for 2.92, but it should be back for 2.93. It’s such a useful workflow I can imagine users to be very upset when 2.92 hit the release.

The most simple logic I see here is to trigger modifier under the cursor to become active and then apply/duplicate/delete it based on a hotkey.
