Hi, speaking about annoying things so much leads me to post another problem, that fn + delete, which usually deletes the character right of the cursor on osx, does not work in pd. there appears a funny rectangle character. maybe this one is easier to solve? I also had that problem on some linux machines, btw. whereas on windows it was not possible at all to delete what is right of the cursor, if I remember correctly. marius.
Yes, it's always bothered me that the "delete" key doesn't work on windows... It's minor but disconcerting, and leads to many typos....

It used to work on Linux, but then started inserting a non printable (square box) character after about 0.36. I've always considered this temporarily broken and expected it to be fixed very soon.

Yeah, the key mappings are a mess in Pd. It's all handled in Tcl.
This needs a clean-up on all platforms. Anyone want to try?

I had a look with no prior knowledge of Tcl/Tk... I have no idea where the "Delete" message is being intercepted. It is not in pd.tk, afaict; it looks like it is being caught and told to send keycode 8 (backspace). I was able to change BackSpace's keycode successfully (e.g. to a "." character) but changes to the Delete keycode still show up as the box. Strangely, the "Delete" keysym shows up in the console if you uncomment the debug code at the top of the proc, so I'm not sure where this is getting messed up (I found no other references in pd.tk).
So, hope that confuses someone.
Does anyone know if windows can be set to "fill while resizing" in Tcl/Tk? I've had a look around and can't find anything, and all other Tk apps I've tried in OS X have the same "transparent frame"/Windows 95/OS 9 style resize, so I assume that is a no.

AFAIK, all key mapping is done in pd.tk (aka u_main.tk). But that
doesn't mean that it's simple to track down. That's part of what
need fixing ;).
Look for all the "bind" statements in pd.tk. Part of the problem is
that Pd turns off a lot of the default Tcl/Tk bindings, which is
probably the cause behind the problem that started this thread.
