The pick tool is the most used tool in the toolbox. Many users know that pressing the <Spacebar> will toggle between the tool they are using and the Pick Tool. But what does one do when editing text? Clearly the <Spacebar> will insert a space character into a text object.  The solution is easy, as pressing <Ctrl>+<Spacebar> always goes back to the picktool, whether you're editing text, or not. I would suggest you always use < <Ctrl>+<Spacebar> as it always works, whether you're editing a text object, or not.
