If you drag select an object or group of objects you can use the

The patch below fixes the problem. I don't know if it's the right
solution, though.Assuming that cursor keys worked at one time on OS X in Pd... it
seems that the keycode sent when a cursor key is pressed may have changed in Snow
Leopard. I haven't been able to track down any official documentation, though,
nor any other bug reports that describe the root of the problem.Marvin Humphrey

Hey Marvin,
Welcome to Pd! This is a nice entry, showing up with a patch to fix a
bug :-D. The whole canvas_key thing is pretty messy, so I think your
patch is probably as good as its going to get. I'll apply it.
Patches are definitely very welcome :-D. In the future, please submit
them to the patch tracker, the 'git format-patch' format is preferred:

Terrorism is not an enemy. It cannot be defeated. It's a tactic.
It's about as sensible to say we declare war on night attacks and
expect we're going to win that war. We're not going to win the war on
