Default "Current Position" and Markers question

I want to lay down markers as I record. No problem there. I set it so that when I hit 'M' I get a marker at the "current position".

The current position is by default the "play cursor". This is great. However, if I go and drag a cursor to a new position this default behavior changes to creating markers at the "edit cursor".

Again, this is fine for that particular maneuver.

What I want is to be able to change the default back to laying down a marker at the "play cursor" after I've dragged some marker around...

I know there's SWS extensions that force this behavior, and that's totally cool. However (this is a big one) the SWS extensions do not include prompting the operator with the edit marker dialog.

Bottom line: I'm happy to force a marker at the edit cursor -OR- the play cursor using SWS, but I also want the operator prompted with the edit marker dialogue too...

Is this possible?

Thank you!

yes - irritating behaviour.

I use the custom action (attached pic) bound to Shift-M to guarantee dropping a marker at the play cursor, wherever the edit cursor.
