Wow that's fast! Is it something I can try myself? as I'm trying to fine tune a bunch of gui elements form old abstractions and my right mouse finger is getting tired :)
Thanks

Ok, I have it working in the canvas dialog.
I basically unbind KeyPress_Enter from closing the dialog and then bind ::dialog_canvas::apply to Return in all the entry boxes as well as the equivalent to the checkbuttons. This is only enabled for OSX, so other platforms are untouched.
It’s pretty nice, actually, since you can just tab to things and make updates with the keyboard only. One issue is that the buttons curreently don’t display a focus highlight. I’ll look into that and updating the other dialogs.

“switch to linux” … real helpful :P
I brought this up recently on pd-dev: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-dev/2015-11/020478.html
The curent situation is a bit half-way as the button was removed to match the Apple Human Interface Guidelines (aka persistent changes are saved by default, hence no “Apply” button). The problem is that updates are not applied until *after* the dialog is closed. This means making small GOP changes, for instance, is a pain in the ass since you have to keep opening and closing the dialog. IMO this works *against* the HIG as is far worse than simply having a button.
There are two solutions:
- simply bring back the Apply button on OSX, I did this on my version of
Vanilla by commenting out some if statements in the tcl code
- add apply code in the tcl to update the canvas/gui object whenever
changes are applied to any text box in the dialog
I’ll look into option 2 as it’s really the best solution.

Hi
Is the omission of the Apply btn in the properties dialogues (present in Pd-extended) a feature of latest vanilla build or a bug?
a feature¹.

¹ that should go away. in the meantime you could switch to linux where there *is* an apply button.
