Haven't all of the patching desires currently under discussion been implemented in desiredata?
I'm looking at: http://code.goto10.org/projects/desiredata/wiki/UserDocs
The only thing I don't see is the ability to have msg boxes as part of automatic object chaining.
I'd be interested to hear from people who have used dd, how effective they thought any/all of these features were.
As for the new object chaining in pd, it seems to cut my patching time in half for small, simple patches (mostly because I don't spend any time straightening wires).

Oh, everybody agrees on this, they just don't agree on what simplicity is and how to achieve it.
Furthermore, you could also extend Ctrl+Return, making
it the shortcut
for connecting already instantiated objects. I.e if we
select (with the
mouse):
My idea was that Ctrl+Return would be a key binding of a box being edited, not of the canvas, so you wouldn't be able to just select objects and press Ctrl+Return. I suppose, Ctrl+Return could also be bound to the canvas, but in that case, the origin of the choice of Ctrl+Return is meaningless (it's supposed to be a variation on the Return binding of a box being edited)
... and hit Ctrl+Return we get the outlets of the
message boxes
connected to the left inlet of [f ].
But Chun already did this in a different way which also works for connecting to several objects at once and allows to choose the outlet number and inlet number.
