Does anyone else find that it is painfully slow to patch to gether object with PD, since you have to aim the mouse in to small areas?
It would be so nice if there were a way to distinguish between object-selection actions and connection-actions, other than requiring the mouse to be actually directly over a connection to determine the mode (it takes a long time to place the mouse like this!).
My disadvantage once again, is that I'm in complete ignorance as to how the Opcode Max handles this problem.
But, just an idea - why not do something where dragging with button 1, selects and area, and dragging with button 2 makes a connection to the nearest outlet and inlet at the beginning and end of the drag, respectiviely?

Yes, on more than one occasion I have accidently deleted connections when trying to make multiple connections from an object. In complex patches this can be difficult to undo--requiring tracking down where the connection was before it was abolished. I've learned to be more careful.
