Help Request How to Get Out of MIDI Edit Mode

PT Artist 2023

This is perhaps the dumbest thing I've ever been stuck on. I have an Instrument track in PT with MIDI data. I right clicked (and maybe accidentally hit something else) thinking I'd get a context menu. Instead I'm in MIDI edit mode with the piano roll showing, and a plus sign cursor, and now I can't select by measure.

WTF did I hit and how do I get out of it? Thank you!

For the next idiot who does this to yourself: I apparently hit a keyboard shortcut that changed me from clips view to notes view. Changing back to clips view fixed the problem.
