So instead of doing auto-placements and connections as default, user-initiated operations should be preferred, i.e. a better "Tidy up" and a "Connect all selected objects" as proposed.
but wouldn't it be nice to have shortcuts for all the combinations that you have to type 10 times a day? for example I create [metro] and then a auto-completion shortcut will add a connected toggle? or cycle through a set of recently used combinations with that object? [openpanel] always goes with a bang input. default pd-auto-completion could directly be taken from the help patch for the object or a list of standard combinations for this object.
i think luigi posted a "template" abstraction a while ago that might do something like that (using iemguts) ((i have to admit that i haven't looked at it yet))
it's a solution that uses abstractions rather than key-bindings though.
