Having had my hand in the development of this bit of the grid
I would like to add a disclaimer...

The behaviour (with autoedit turned on) is similar to a
spreadsheet (where you can F2 or just type) which was really
the target at the time.

But that is just a disclaimer, I can certainly understand
wanting the the autoedit disabled but to allow F2 - it makes
sense to me.
