hello, pd is great... but after some time of pd-patching, I find one thing quite bothersome: clicking into the canvas to exit the status of the object box after creation and typing text into it. Is there an alternate solution, I maybe don't know of? otoh "enter" would be my first choice, "esc" the second. keybord inputs are so much faster. marius.

For now try: Ctrl-E Ctrl-E
For fighting RSS you may want to make Caps-Lock an additional Ctrl-key (on Linux by adding
Section "InputDevice" ... Option "XKbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps" EndSection
to /etc/X11/xorg.conf)

Ctrl-E Ctrl-E (this is, because pd is written with emacs; but you could try to convince miller to use vi)

just a thought...afaik, all objects require just one line of text..ie, there is never any reason to hit the enter key while making an object (message boxes, yes...but objects, no)
so why not map the enter key so that it finalizes the creation of that object?
it's a good point that marius makes, i think.
just found this: http://desiredata.goto10.org/wiki/UserDocs
(scroll down a bit to: 2. keyboard navigation)

i would love to have a feature in pd which would allow me to write something like "[hslider][tgl]-[spigot]-[hslider]" which would be automatically converted to a properly aligned
""" [hslider] [tgl] | / [spigot] | [hslider] """
a function like that would massively speed up a lot of bothersome routine tasks and it would allow the list-members here to come up with funky one-liners the perl-fanboys could only dream of ;-)

There is no reason for messageboxes and comments either. All three kinds of boxes are saved as lists of atoms, parsed by binbuf_text, which discards all whitespace (that is: spaces, tabs, and newlines).
I'm thinking about whitespace-preservation hints that could work for all three kinds of boxes, but it doesn't fix some other problems like how numbers get mangled due to the parsing/unparsing of floats. This latter problem cannot realistically be fixed by keeping the fileformat compatible (or maybe it can - any ideas?)

It's already bound to that key in DesireData. Btw that key is really called Return in Tcl/Tk (the name Enter is reserved for mouseover).
The former Return is bound to Ctrl+Return, but it's not like you can expect Pd to preserve newlines across saves.
"esc" the second
I have just bound this to a cancellation of the current edit: the ObjectBox or MessageBox or Comment will revert to its previous contents. (This change is available in CVS right now)
