De-select edited notes with a long tap

Hi, Push 2 user here (tho I guess this might be related to some other controllers as well). When I'm in, let's say, the device mode (the display shows device parameters) and I long tap a step in a sequencer, the note edit mode activates where I can adjust the selected note's parameters. It would be great if when I'm done with note editing I could quit the note mode by just long tapping the step again and return back to the previously active mode. It just seems so logical and intuitive. Now I have to hold Select and tap a pad to de-select a note and the display shows 'Please select a note to edit' so I also have to manully switch to the mode where I was before.

I tried to do some hacking myself in AbstractSequencerView

I changed it as follows

        if (mode instanceof final INoteMode noteMode)
        {
            final List<NotePosition> editNotes = getEditNotes();
            if (editNotes.size() == 1 && editNotes.contains(notePosition)) {
                this.clearEditNotes();
                if (modeManager.isActive(Modes.NOTE)) {
                    modeManager.restore();
                }
            } else {
                if (addNote) {
                    noteMode.addNote(clip, notePosition);
                }
                else
                    noteMode.setNote (clip, notePosition);
                modeManager.setActive (Modes.NOTE);
            }
        }

The hack works with the regular note sequencer and drum sequencers, but unfortunately I had no success with the poly sequencer. It simply won't do anything. Also, I think it would be a great addition for everyone. In the video below you can see behaviour which I'm requesting for. This was recorded with the hacked version of a driver.

Basically, this FR consists of two: 1) de-select selected note with a long tap 2) return back to the previous mode when editing is done (i.e. selection is clear)
