As the title. There must be a Shortcut for unselecting everything and have the Selection Tool active, right?
A long time ago I think it was COM+ALT+SHIFT+A, but that doesn't work. And the help only mentions ESC and V. Neither of those do what I want.
Example: I'm in a table. I want to deselect the table and have the Selection Tool active, without touching the mouse. How do i do it?
I'm on MaOS 10.12 and ID CC 2017.

How about Cmd Sh A then tap V?

Nope, there isn't. All the law-abiding people do as Barb suggested. If you really badly need 'single kb command' solution, then:
1. copy this two-liner to simple text editor, save it as jsx script.
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Deselect All").invoke();
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Selection Tool").invoke();
2. 'Install' it, define kb shortcut.
3. use it
Tested on Win7 / CS6. Should work on Mac too, I hope...

Barb,
I hope I didn't say something completely out of tune? Edited that a bit... My English is just above average, sorry for that... Not native.

And that is what makes the forums so great. We all work together, and if one of us can't figure something out, someone else can.
