Dear list,
this has probably been discussed already (didn't find sth after a quick search in the archive though): When using the computer keyboard's "Pos1" and "End" keys to jump to the beginning of an object or numberbox when editing its contents, will make the cursor move there, but upon typing new characters, it jumpes back (or never really moved away) from its original position. This is Pd-0.45.0 vanilla from Miller's git and tk8.5/tcl8.5 (in fact 8.5.14-2) on a Debian system.
does anyone else experience this too? best, P
It's been like that for as long as I can remember, and I hate it!!!
I've just assumed it was some tcl/tk quirk that has kept it from being changed, but I really don't have a clue as I have no desire to learn tcl/tk...

In pd-l2ork you can do that and also use ctrl+home/end (or arrow left/right) to navigate between spaces inside a multi-arg text, as well as between multiple lines of comments for instance, since pd-l2ork also supports saving endlines inside comments. HTH
