Tool change delay

Hey everyone, how's it going? I've been playing Stardew Valley for a while, and there's one thing that bothers me. Right now, I'm doing some clay farming, and that's where I run into this issue the most. When I use a tool and immediately try to switch to another, the input doesn't register—it's as if there's a delay of a few milliseconds after performing an action. For example: while clay farming, I use the hoe, and immediately after, I click on the pickaxe to fill in the dug-up spot, but the command doesn't go through, so I have to press it again. The same thing happens during combat; I attack a monster with my sword and then click the pickaxe to mine while the monster is recoiling—I’d be able to do this between attacks if not for that delay.

In short, after using the hoe, I have to wait a few seconds before switching to the pickaxe.
Is this normal? Is there a mod that helps with this?

Note: I'm not talking about the animations that can be cancelled by opening the menu, like speedrunners do.

Hey there, it seems quite like a strange problem. First things first, what platform you're using? I'm on PC using keyboard and mouse but never encountered such problem. Since it's a delay problem on tool switching, it might has something to do with input button/device problem.
Is this happened only on tool switching or also when you scroll through items as well?
