Hotkey to switch between editing and selecting

[George the Flea]

Apologies if this has been posted before; I had no luck finding an answer either in the forums or the OO docs.

Is there a hotkey that switches between text editing/entry and the highlight mode (so from having a text entry cursor in the line to having the line selected in blue)? I often want to flip between them (because navigating with keyboard when the line is highlighted instead of in text entry is much faster) but am having no luck.

Thanks for any tips!

Try the <esc> key! ;)

Thanks! Is there a way to go the other direction as well?

Escape toggles between the two states for me...

Ha, I'm just an idiot. Thank you!
