Oh wow, command+enter works for me! Thanks Jonathan my workflow just got a whole lot smoother! Marvin I'm on OSX 10.6.8 running Pd-extended. Drag select and cursors keys are also working for me. Maybe give Pd-extended a try?
Thanks, but if I become a serious user, I hope to make substantial contributions to Pd at some point, and for various reasons my preference is to contribute to a BSD-licensed project over one that is licensed under the GPL.
If you are planning on making substantial contributions to Pd Vanilla, you should consider making a few "test" contributions to gauge the amount of time and energy it will take you to get patches accepted; something like a patch for getting this <control-enter> key binding would be a good start.
Also, realize that any substantial changes you make may sit in the patch tracker for some time-- it's not easy getting them accepted, nor communicating with Miller if they don't. Additionally, if they are big, desirable improvements to the Pd community they may find their way into Pd-extended anyway.

(Not trying to start a discussion, just explaining why I will continue to use Vanilla for now. If someone absolutely must ask why, I expect to reply offlist in the interests of being a good guest.) :)
I was under the impression that Pd-extended consisted of augmentations to Vanilla. Is it actually a fork?
