Hi, I have to agree with Jens here, I would definitely prefer always defaulting to navigate. Being in edit mode when the molecule is empty annoys me a lot because I often start empty, but then paste coordinates directly into the cartesian editor. When I try to rotate the view, I instead draw a pair of carbons. This _always_ happens, and I can't for the life of me get used to it. I guess pasting into the cartesian editor is conceptually too similar to just opening a file, where the mode is switched to navigate.
