I could change it to separate it from the rest. But probably i'll need some directions as i'm a newbie.

Some stuff is already separated such as the hotkey handling which is done in kbdnav_key instead of canvas_key (which is already very long). 

But there is stuff like the drawing of the rectangles to indicate which in/outlet is selected for example, which is done in glist_drawiofor inside  g_texc.c. 

Also, in g_canvas.h, inside the "struct _editor" there is a "struct _kbdnav" member. This is the struct that contains the data used in the keyboard navigation.

So how one should go to keep everything optional?
Using preprocessor #if's to include/exclude code during compilation?

I agree - I haven't looked at the code but if it can fit easily into Pd's
source tree as a run-time option this would be worth adding.

Maybe we can work together with IOhannes and Christof to propose changes to the Pd sources to allow for adding in this kind of functionality without *requiring* it to be built into the core itself. I have been thinking of these kinds of approaches since I see this being a greta feature for the GUI but basically unused for something like libpd. In the latter case, I'd like to simply not compile it and the easiest way would if the main functionality is in a separate set of files that can be left out.
