Highlighting selected features is accessible also from the contextual
menu. Select item(s), right click, "Display selected". I will add also
"Display all" (for SQL selection).

Good idea. I can see you have already implemented this functionality. Great.

Only first? Select item, right click, "Edit selected record". Seems to
work for me.

It was bug I just forgot to comment listmix.TextEditMixin for virtual
list. You can edit records from contextual menu ("Edit selected
record").
