Hi list,
Has anyone done a hack so instead of clicking and dragging patch cords (which is kind of awkward still), you can click an outlet and then it starts the patch cord and then move the mouse freehand to the destination, click an inlet and it connects them that way? To cancel the patch cord you can just click on the blank canvas.
I am pretty sure I must not be the only one who has thought of this.. just curious?

Hi Kevin,
it's a nice idea, since dragging is the thing that gives you carpal-tunnel syndrome the worst! Very un-ergonomic motion, if ever one was invented.... my only way around it is to patch with a Wacom tablet.
I'd support this as a feature request.
best, d.

hi everybody same here, would love to have it too... it is also complicated to connect object that are far away, and it is not always wise to use s~ and r~ greets n.

For anyone on Linux, there is a nice workaround using your capslock-key as a mouse button as posted on this list by i think Frank some time ago: (You might need to check the numeric keycodes of your keyboard with xev first).
# disable capslock xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock"
# set to mouse button xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Pointer_Button1"
# turn things on: xkbset m
#########################################
# turn it off again: xmodmap -e "keycode 66 = Caps_Lock" xkbset -m xmodmap -e "add lock = Caps_Lock"

Thank you Peter! This is a great workaround and I will use it in the meantime. In fact it is almost nicer than all that clicking. cheers!! km
