is there a way to cut and paste text from the console or some other external text source into a comment object?
I'm RTFM and can't seem to find anywhere if this is possible
What version of Pd are you using? Copy-pasting into comments, message boxes and object boxes didn't work until some recent version (at least in Windows), but it now does (at least in Windows). I think it was 0.42.something when it was finally introduced.
Or am I misunderstanding what you mean? I mean selecting a text anywhere inside or outside Pd, hitting ctrl+C, and pasting into a comment, message box or object with ctrl+V.
Oh well you have to create the comment object (or select it) and paste the text into it: what you cannot do is just pasting and having the text appear _as_ a new comment. perhaps was this what you meant?
