That is definitely useful, and something that is missing on Mac OS  
X.  I wonder if it would be useful to have it toggle editmode only  
when you Ctrl-Click on the background canvas (and it toggles rather  
than choose editmode).

Hmm, maybe I should make Cmd-Click behave like Ctrl-Click does on GNU/ 
Linux...
