Okay. If my clicking precision doesn't get better, this is how I'll try going about it : )
Thanks -

You can increase the font size which will make the boxes bigger. Also,
you might like the new inlet/outlet highlighting that's in Pd-extended 0.43 and pd-l2ork. The inlets and outlets are tagged using Tk tags, so you should be able to change their size using the Tk canvas commands 'coords' or 'itemconfigure -width', etc. I've never tried tho. Their hitboxes aren't though - canvas_doclick in g_editor.c has hard-coded numbers.
Arg, yes, that's true... sigh... but I find the inlet/outlet highlighting helps a lot.
If I were to try make a patch, what do you think the appropriate place to expose it? It feels like it would sit well beside the font size options...
If you're modifying the C code, then I think the best approach would be to expose the settings in a way that people could change them via Tcl i.e. a GUI plugin. Then people can play around with all sorts of behaviors. Its going to be the kind of thing where it'll be difficult to change the existing behavior because so many people expect it to work like that. So it needs to be something customizable.
