I didn't think you wanted cursor control. I'm saying I don't think what you want is possible, but it is possible to set up other keys to control edit mode, and that the toggle that does so can be used to directly control other things. Maybe someone else knows a way to read the mode from a patch; I've never found a way either.
When sending the msg. [; pd editmode 1(, Pd respond with this: pd: unknown message editmode 1
So it might not be possible to read the editmode status of the current patch, as it is with a subpatch using:
well "pd" is not the current patch but a global receiver. since pd itself cannot be in edit mode (only patches!), the [; pd editmode $1( does not make sense.
aprt from that, you should be able to use [; pd-patch.pd( once the patch is saved. (but still you don't get notified of changes!)
