Shortcut for Toggle Edit mode does not work
The shortcut for Edit -> Toggle Edit mode does not work. Shift+E is already used for Std_BoxElementSelection.

Bump.
This is not a big issue, but looks strange as the duplicate shortcuts occur in the same menu.

Re: Shortcut for Toggle Edit mode does not work
As a test I changed line 2711 in src\Gui\CommandView.cpp from:
to:
and recompiled and it appears to work as expected but the choice of keys is subjective and whether the StdBoxElementSelection command or the Toggle Edit command should be changed is open for debate as in the 3 years of using FreeCAD I never used that menu selection or the short cut.

Re: Shortcut for Toggle Edit mode does not work
IMO the Edit Mode shortcut can be removed. Most users will probably double click the item in the tree anyway.

As there's been no other feedback, I've created a PR https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/pull/3297 as per your suggestion.

@Syres: Thank you.
Re: Shortcut for Toggle Edit mode does not work
Later on we could think of another shortcut there... I'sd like to use TAB, like in Blender, but TAB is very useful too to navigate inside widgets, so not sure...
