related idea:<div>Those automatically created and connected objects when tapping ENTER (or was it TAB? (that function is not present in my pd version...)), could also be made more useful by providing a variation:</div><div>

When doing SHIFT+ENTER (or TAB?) an object is created -above- the current one, connected to the inlet of the current one.</div><div>Because you don&#39;t always create stuff in a top-down direction (you create a metro and -then- think &#39;it needs a toggle&#39;).</div>

I just realized, it would be a bit more complicated, because, say you already typed something in it and want to delete the whole word to replace it with something else, you wouldn&#39;t want the object to disappear.<div>
So the rule would have to be: </div>

<div>&quot;backspace deletes the object if nothing has been typed in it yet&quot;</div><div>gr,</div><div>Tim</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2010/6/4 Andrew Faraday <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:jbturgid@hotmail.com" target="_blank">jbturgid@hotmail.com</a>&gt;</span><div>

I&#39;ve had this problem before, so, yeah, I&#39;d agree, delete on un-placed objects sounds really helpful.<br><br><hr>From: <a href="mailto:timvets@gmail.com" target="_blank">timvets@gmail.com</a><br>Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2010 02:57:54 +0200<br>

<div><div><div>when doing ctrl+1 to create an object box, </div><div>then changing your mind and typing nothing in it, but doing backspace deletes the created object immediately...</div>

<div>so that you don&#39;t have to click outside the empty object to finalize it, select it again by dragging the &#39;lasso&#39; over it to do backspace to remove it...</div></div><div>as it is now, backspace in an empty object does nothing, so i guess it could be used for something?</div>
