hey, in max there is a nice feature called "new from clipboard". what it does is it opens a new patch and fills in the content of your clipboard. this is very useful when you have a patch in textform (like in an email) and just select, copy and then create a new patch. you don't need to copy everything into a textfile, save as *.pd and then open with pd. would it be difficult to implement this feature in pd? marius.
You could probably hack this feature pretty quick, at the very least
by making Tcl write a file to /tmp/ from the clipboard, then open
that file. It's possible to make it load directly from the
clipboard, but my guess is that would be a bit more complicated and
might involve some C.

DesireData has it.

In DesireData, just do Ctrl+n Ctrl+v
In DesireData, there's no difference between "text form" of copy/paste and non-"text form"... there is no non-"text form" anymore, really.
Even in PureData, there's never been a non-"text form" of copy/paste, it's just that PureData hides its private clipboard, and that DesireData does not use a private clipboard. (except Ctrl+d, but then, that's normal)

Sometimes that is a bit annoying in puredata; if we open an abstraction, copy the content, close the abstraction, and then paste the content into a subpatch, nothing happens, the abstraction have still to be opened for having it's content pasted.
