Wouldn't it be nice to live-connect between the textfile and pd? For example typing text like <#X connect 0 0 1 0;>, execute (like <enter> in Supercollider) to let pd show up the connection. And vice-versa creating and object in pd that becomes immediately visible in the textfile. As far as i know it's not possible but please tell me if I'm wrong. I guess this would offer opportunities for live-coding purposes, especially when objects also would be ranged statically by your own given arguments (numbers and/or strings, whatever). Different objects with the same (part of the) argument could then be connected to another object or group of objects typing only one short line of text. I read <iemguts> offers some patching possibilities with the [canvas*]-objects, but I haven't figured that out yet. I'll probably try to soon.
