This feature is helpful, but it also slows down patch editing a bit. I wonder if it would be better to disconnect on click, but turn the cable a bright color (like red) when the mouse is over it. Undo would still be there to fix accidents.
I don't think so. I was quite critical on the change at first, but now I like it that way. It's much more consistent with other apps' behaviour, where clicking or marking with a mouse does not delete anything. It is also more consistent with mouse behaviour at other places in Pd, for example selecting text in object boxes.
Although having to press Delete or Backspace (this should be fixed on all platforms, of course) is an added move it does not really slow down editing (IMO), because it also means less mistakes, for example when patch cords run very close next to each other.
I'm quite sure that new users who are not used to the old behaviour will feel more at home with the selection-cut cycle. I would rather propose the possibility to select more than one patch cord at once with a mouse move, like selecting multiple objects which is already possible.
