The Tcl/Tk interface is getting on my nerves in general. I can't do all the UI things I'm used to. Tab doesn't work, for example. Is there still a movement to separate PD from its UI?
What do you mean with Tab doesn't work (how should it work) ?
When I'm filling out a form, like the properties box for a slider, hitting tab should move me to the next field. This makes it so I can fill out the form without removing my hands from the keyboard. Other tiny things like shift-arrow for hilighting the last word of text aren't as nice as they are with GNOME or Emacs either.
This is all doable with tcl/tk, It just needs someone to spot it, and someone to implement it (I think the GUI properties dialogs were done by Thomas Musil)
