Don't you think that this feature should replace inline edit?

Saving is done by clicking outside the cell, right? But it's not
explained, should it be?

Also, if we compare with a spreadsheet program, saving is not done when
exiting a cell, it's done by an explicit click (for example on a Disk
button). The user might want to change many columns before saving.

I'm also wondering about the "Edit mode". Why not just enter edit when
someone clicks on data? I know that, currently, clicking on data
produces row marking and ticks the checkbox, but this could be improved.
After all, the most probable intention from a user (with a spreadsheet
knowledge) clicking on data is to edit it.
