except what if you move the mouse and then decide you want to make a connection to a new object? We'd need a way to return to the earlier state.
shift-numerals might be a problem because in many places the numerals already require the shift key.

Ha, that's cute, though it needs some getting used to, but I guess that will come quickly.
I just tried it with creating a [f ], then press Ctl-1 and type "mod 16", press C-1 again and type "+ 1", neat.
After my initial enthusiasm has faded I must also say, that certain patching habits now fail miserably.
I'm used to moving the mouse in advance to where I want to put the next object for objects that should not be connected to the previously created object.
Example: Lets say I want to create a row of number atoms like this:
[0\ [0\ [0\ [0\ [0\ [0\ [0\
this should be easy: if the mouse moved between the last ctl-3 and the following, then place the object at the mouse position without connection, if the mouse did not move, then assume the user is in keyboard patching mode and place the new object below the old one and connect it. I also thought about using ctl+shift+number to create a connected object. don't know if that combination is used by an OS? or use ctl-k to toggle between keyboard only mode and mouse+keyboard mode. on my mac I would like to use ctl-home and ctl-end to cycle through the possibilites of connecting two objects. don't know about other OS.
plus the other features below (select multiple objects and align them or connect them) would be nice, too.
cheers, marius.
Traditionally I'd do a sweeping movement with the mouse going left to right and sometimes press "Ctl-3" and click.
The new auto-connections make this very hard now.
I guess I would prefer auto-connections and auto-alignments happen afterwards, e.g. I create these
[0\
[mtof]
[phasor~][cos~]
then select the four objects, say the magic words and then it would transform into this:
[0
| [mtof] | [phasor~] | [cos~]Ciao
