Didn't know that the tabbing to a different object is meant to work only when multiple objects are selected. This is way too cool, and quite different from the case where only one object is selected when entering edit mode. In that case, edit mode exits when clicking on any other unselected object, which does not cause any surprise. That totally answers all those doubts I raised without doing my homework! I am still interested to know how undo events are to be collapsed, though ... will there be a single event for the entire mode, containing all selected objects, or one per object? The latter makes more sense. Another possibility is to extend the former, with the local undo stack retained inside the change object. So undo re-enters edit mode, and begins where the user left previously.
