I just saw this video, which might have been posted here before, it
shows a bunch of layout shortcuts for Max/MSP. I think that there is
a lot that could be done to make patching much quicker and easier.

I had one thought, which is making a snap-to-grid function when
editing. Maybe graphical editors have this, I think it would work
well for Pd. Ideally, it would be resizable and togglable via a
preference, or even better, via Pd messages.
One thing that I think would help a lot is making it so you could
click and release an outlet, then click an inlet to make the
connection, instead of having to drag. Any other ideas?
