I do something similar, but I put it into a frontscript so I don't have 
to edit the IDE as much. My version doesn't have the neat side-effect of 
editing objects/groups alternately though.

Here's mine:

on mouseUp -- in a frontscript
   if the optionkey is "down" and the commandKey is "down" \
       and "script editor" is not in the long name of the target
   then edit script of the target
   else pass mouseUp
end mouseUp
