Hi,
I just had this idea for a possible simple (?) usability enhancement in Pd's editor: I think it could be cool to have a key binding for the (usually) left (button0) mouseclick.
Assuming the key "c" would be used: Pressing "c" would toggle "mouse down". Pressing the key again would generate a "mouse up". Of course in run-mode and when actually writing text, this should be deactivated.
Anyway patching would be possible by just pointing the mouse over an outlet, pressing "c" once, moving the mouse over to an outlet and pressing "c" again to make the connection while never using or holding the actual mouse button, thus reducing stress on the (usually) right hand.
I actually would like to test this. Does someone know how to set this up (maybe with of some key->mouse translation tools) on X-Windows?
Ciao
