There is for the first 2 things, that would be this:

script:moi.geometryDatabase.showPoints(); var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(), locked = moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); if ( !obj.showPoints ) locked.addObject( obj ); } locked.lockSelection();

So that turns on the special "locked points" mode with one key.

But for the moment Escape won't work to exit this mode, you will need to use this on a different key instead:

script:moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects().unlockSelection();

However, I have tuned up Escape for the next release to handle this - if nothing is selected when you push Escape (which will be the case on the second time that you push it), it will look to see if there is any locked selection and if there is it will clear the locked selection.

Then I guess that means locking all the objects that are _not_ currently selected... That would be this:

script:var objs = moi.geometryDatabase.getObjects(), locked = moi.geometryDatabase.createObjectList(); for ( var i = 0; i < objs.length; ++i ) { var obj = objs.item(i); if ( !obj.selected ) locked.addObject( obj ); } locked.lockSelection();

I'm not quite sure if that is what you wanted?
