Description
I understand that placing a block with space or enter will exit me out of Move mode, but I also expected that if I pressed "M" again, that I would be toggled out of the move mode and the block would be placed down. I'm not sure if this is consistent with other behavior or would be intuitive for other users, but I found myself trying to exit move mode by pressing "M" very often, so I wanted to log it.

Research direction
Start by locating the block editor's Move mode handling and the keyboard path for the M key. Confirm the existing Space and Enter behavior, then verify that pressing M while already in Move mode exits the mode and places the block, with the behavior covered by the relevant editor tests if they exist.
