> Hey all

> So often I see people getting confused with symbol boxes. Its current

interface design is contrary to what most people are used to from other

software. Every text entry that I can think of gives a visual cue to

indicate keyboard input is expected. However, when you click symbol

box, nothing happens, which is the confusing part and makes a lot of

people think it's not working. Only when you start typing, it adds a

temporary '...' suffix to the written input.

At least in Purr Data, the color of the text changes to show that the

symbol/number box has been activated.
