[openpanel] always goes with a bang input. default pd-auto- completion could directly be taken from the help patch for the object or a list of standard combinations for this object. marius.
make an GOP abstraction with a bang and a openpanel.
that's really not the same, I want a set of objects created automatically inside the patch, so that I can connect, drag or reuse them in the patcher window. this could be extended in so many ways. for example autoincrementing object arguments when you use a special duplicate command. marius.
don't know if anyone here wants to hear about it, but this is exactly what the clippings folder in maxmsp is used for. the user can save little (or big) code snippets there as regular patch files. then you can access the patches through a context menu and paste the code snippets into any new patches you are working on. ok, no key-shortcuts yet, but those could be added easily i suppose. very handy feature in my opinion. volker.
Yo, just for the sake of discussion, the [templater] object I released last month is one implementation of this "snippets" idea. See here: http://lists.puredata.info/pipermail/pd-list/2008-12/066854.html
(also, some of the stuff being requested like canvas object counts etc. can be found in IOhannes's iemguts). Best Luke
Hi Luke,
I did not read the pd list during the last 3 months, sorry. but that is what I was looking for! this really gives a lot of opportunities.
which leads me to more questions:
Is there a way to tell, which objects (by object count) are selected in a patch? and a way to query the content of an object by object count? and can I select (mark blue) an object in the patch by object count?
for the snipplets, I think, if you add a snipplet to your canvas, it should be selected by default, so that you can easily undo the paste. and I also like the idea of cycling through a set of snipplets with the same key combination. that way you don't have to remember so many keyboard commands. it is more like using a dictionary for text messaging on the phone. one key cycles through all the possible words with a certain letter combination. in Pd it would cycle depending on the object(s) you select, or just some standard clippings.
marius.
