Yes Escape twice could be the right solution.
So maybe this is a LP issue to file ... ?
To make deselect behaviour consistent between Select- and Node Tool, these are desired changes to Inkscape: - Select Tool should use double-click on empty area to deselect all objects (not single click) - When in "group mode" (?), Escape should deselect all objects, or if there are not objects selected, jump out of "group mode" - Double click does not jump out of groups, just deselect things
Something like that?

In CAD-software the default way to clear the selection is using Escape key, and it simply cannot be done with mouse (single or double clicks).
I recommend this, in a complex drawing you have to guess where blank space is, and often what happens is you accidently click on something you don't see. It's always better to hit escape to deselect in the first place, which is how I do it lately.
In fact I remember when starting to use Inkscape it was a tough point to come over, that the selection disappeared if I miss-clicked. On a positive side, I got really quick at precise mouse moves using Inkscape full time a whole year :)
Yes, that's always been annoying. I'm happy to see steps taken to address it.
You are right there is some jump-into-group behaviour when double clicking groups, however, we are talking about empty areas, not jump-to-group (which requires you to actually hit the object).
Jumping out is a harder situation though. Maybe escape twice backs you out of the group too.
So escape once: deselect escape with nothing selected: back out of group.

Hey Olof! :)
However, the Select Tool still uses single clicks to deselect objects. Is this inconsistency intentional...?
Doesn't it make sense to have double-clicks to deselect objects just as is the case for nodes?
I think it should be double click here too to deselect objects, since there is no way to regain your previous selection (and my selection get pretty big for grouping sometimes).
For consistency as well as functionality, this makes the most sense to me.
