(sorry that you're getting this twice, IOhannes, I hit reply rather than reply to all the first time)
you can do that with a gui-plugin :-)
however, your description is deliberatly awkward. e.g. there is no reason to explicitely "deselect" the object. you don't have to "press backspace while holding mouse down".
it is enough to "select" the object (drag the lasso over it), and once it is selected, press backspace (with mouse up or down)
Ah, I didn't know that there was a difference between clicking on and drag-selecting. Enlightening!
3 - I can drag lines from outlets to inlets, but not from inlets to outlets.
i think this is actually a good thing. you can also not send data from inlets to outlets.
I acknowledge that we have a difference of opinion here, and can't think of a persuasive argument. Would be a good subject for user experience testing :P
It may be good for didactic reasons to have the patching consistent with the logic behind it in that way. But from a purely practical standpoint, it could save some cursor-miles if we could connect from outlets to inlets too.
I meant 'from inlets to outlets' of course...
i mean, i understand that it is more ergonomic to just hold "ctrl" and
then click all those connections you want to delete rather than having to click-backspace every connection. you save a lot of clicks (well, keypresses), but i doubt that the _speedup_ would be significant.
It's slightly physically unpleasant - going between a touchpad and backspace with my right hand is a little awkward.
5 - is there a way to type numbers directly into a number box?
clicking+dragging, or pumping them in via a message, doesn't feel good
to
me.
click on the number box and type the numberbox. this is a runmode operation (that's why you probably missed it)
Wow. Thanks for this. Possibly editmode, but also because there's no indication that the box contents are editable by pressing keys (no caret, &c.). Is there a reason it's disabled in editmode?
Thanks for your responses :)
