I think it is supposed to be a simple toggle with <Esc>. Does not seem to work
on Windows build master/6.2.0; I found I had to use the Character dialog's
Highlighting panel and set None.

Setting the Highlighting to None does either of two things--it will stop the
highlighting of additional text entry (out of Highlight mode), or it will
remove the highlighting of selection or of the text run where the text cursor
is positioned.
For the text run in the middle of some highlightin, pay attention as it will
leave the white space & punctuation highlighted if not selected. May need to
make a selection rather than just positioning the text cursor.</pre>
