I thought it was in 0.43-- at least I'm using Pd

This is one of the rare features of Pd-vanilla 42 that is disabled in Pd-extended 42.
I initially liked what I saw of the autopatching
features in Desiredata, but I haven't tried them enough to judge.
It's not very related : you'd press a separate keyboard shortcut to explicitly get an autopatched objects. That's not incompatible with users' habits. Miller's implementation goes against the existing habits of users.
Right, I remember that. I just didn't use it enough to find out exactly how convenient navigating around different objects/inlet /outlets and making connections with the keyboard was.
I do remember that in Desiredata you have to actually create the object with <ctrl-Enter> before you are able to autoconnect another one, which is an unnecessary step.

I also seem to remember the possibility of increasing
the mouse-over radius around each inlet so you don't have to be so precise to make a connection.
That applied to everything you could click on (and drag from or to) in a canvas.
