I know it's a work in progress, but just providing some feedback. Thanks a ton for working on this!
With some vigorous movement between cells using the up/down keys while in normal edit mode, I managed to "strand" an active blinking green cursor in more than one cell which was not the current active cell.
After clicking on one of these "stranded" cursors, the interface stayed in command mode, though typing would actually input text and execute commands at the same time.
