I didn't think you wanted cursor control.  I'm saying I don't think
what you want is possible, but it is possible to set up other keys to
control edit mode, and that the toggle that does so can be used to
directly control other things.  Maybe someone else knows a way to read
the mode from a patch; I've never found a way either.
