Stop selection mode from changing automatically?

Under Edit > Preferences > General > Highlighting > enable Conditional Deselection.

After you select either a face, edge, or vert > spacebar once to deselect and stay in face mode or other that was just selected.

After you select either a face, edge, or vert > spacebar twice to deselect and and you can choose faces, edges, or verts. Selecting objects is not available.

Most people don't move objects much. If you need to move a lot of objects keep a finger over the "b" key for quicker selection of the objects you want to move.

I hope this helps,
