I just had this little idea that could improve my patching workflow: I don't know if anyone would care, but here it is: when doing ctrl+1 to create an object box, then changing your mind and typing nothing in it, but doing backspace deletes the created object immediately... so that you don't have to click outside the empty object to finalize it, select it again by dragging the 'lasso' over it to do backspace to remove it... as it is now, backspace in an empty object does nothing, so i guess it could be used for something? gr, Tim
I've had this problem before, so, yeah, I'd agree, delete on un-placed objects sounds really helpful.

I just realized, it would be a bit more complicated, because, say you already typed something in it and want to delete the whole word to replace it with something else, you wouldn't want the object to disappear. So the rule would have to be: "backspace deletes the object if nothing has been typed in it yet" gr, Tim

related idea: Those automatically created and connected objects when tapping ENTER (or was it TAB? (that function is not present in my pd version...)), could also be made more useful by providing a variation: When doing SHIFT+ENTER (or TAB?) an object is created -above- the current one, connected to the inlet of the current one. Because you don't always create stuff in a top-down direction (you create a metro and -then- think 'it needs a toggle'). gr, Tim

imho It's more useful and regular to support Escape for cancelling any changes to an objectbox ; then you can use the Escape+Delete sequence to do what you want to do, if the selection consists of that object only.
