Cool. When I use the keyboard shortcut "o", something seems different about [osc~] but I can't quite put my finger on it (see attached) :)
Is there a way for the Tcl plugin to tell pd to use the key bindings only in editmode, and only when there isn't an active cursor in an object or message box? Also, can the Tcl plugin do things like dangle the object from the mouse pointer (without using the mouse message hack) and remove the object (without the cut message hack)?
The behavior I'm after is this:
- click the shortcut key and the object fragment dangles from the
mouse(or it gets put on the canvas and is selected). 2) if the same key is pressed again, that object is removed and the next object fragment associated with that key dangles from the mouse (or gets put on the canvas, selected). 3) if a different shortcut key is pressed, the fragment gets put on the canvas (unselected) and the new fragment dangles from the mouse.
I can get that behavior in my abstraction, but it messes with the clipboard data, plus it's dangerous because if you have part of your patch selected and you hit a shortcut key that part of the patch is lost (and you can't undo it!).

Looks promising. Here is another approach as an 0.43 Tcl plugin. I couldn't figure out how to do connections, but I didn't try very hard. Drop this file in the "pd/startup" folder of 0.43, or in the path.

Here's a remix of a patch by Luke Iannini to get it to
do something I've
been wanting to try: shortcut keys for scrolling

I'm just using the cut, paste, and mouse msg hacks so
it works in
pd-vanilla. But it would be cool to see
something like this as a more
general feature in pd.
If you wanna play with it just open test.pd and read
the comments.
