On cells that aren't open for editing, F2 and keyboard-modifiers+F2 work as before.
When not editing the current cell, Tab goes to the next cell as it did before. If the destination cell is read only then F2 does nothing, as it did before. This means you can avoid skipping over cells while editing by pressing Return to close the editor, pressing Tab to get to the desired cell, then F2. This is a straight-forward way to get to cells that require a dialog without using a mouse.
I considered disabling Tab-to-edit, instead having Tab close the current editor as if Return had been pressed then doing a normal Tab-specified move. In the end I thought it might be a bridge too far, especially given that a user can press Return if that is the behavior they want. It also wasn't obvious how to make it work in all cases.
FWIW: I apologize for my crankiness. My annoyance is mostly with Qt and the difficulty of tracing what seems to be random behavior. It was more fun when I was younger.
