Shortcut for unselecting everything and choose the Selection Tool

Question

As the title. There must be a Shortcut for unselecting everything and have the Selection Tool active, right?

A long time ago I think it was COM+ALT+SHIFT+A, but that doesn't work. And the help only mentions ESC and V. Neither of those do what I want.

Example: I'm in a table. I want to deselect the table and have the Selection Tool active, without touching the mouse. How do i do it?

I'm on MaOS 10.12 and ID CC 2017.

If you really badly need 'single kb command' solution, then:1. copy this two-liner to simple text editor, save it as jsx script.app.menuActions.item("$ID/Deselect All").invoke();app.menuActions.item("$ID/Selection Tool").invoke();2. 'Install' it, define kb shortcut.3. use it Tested on Win7 / CS6. Should work on Mac too, I hope...
