How to turn off iedit-mode quickly after finishing an edit?

Question

I like how multiple-cursors is turned off when pressing RET, and this is not the case for iedit-mode, how can I emulate that behavior?

Answer 1

Define a key for the iedit-mode keyboard map, like this:

(define-key iedit-mode-map (kbd "RET") 'iedit-mode)

So, when you start editing a piece of text with iedit-mode, you can turn it off by just pressing RET or any key you like.
