I don't see the point of this feature; Control-Click is quite standardized across OS X applications (and works quite happily in Pd as well). Considering that anyone using Pd probably has a 2 button mouse (or has learned to control click), this is basically just a huge PITA.
The example that finally brought me here was changing arguments to 64 instances of an abstraction in a patch I'm working on: one click selects the entire text of an object box, and another should place the cursor - oh, that's unless you click too fast, in which case you get a @#$% contextual menu. Ok, I'm going to go have a beer : ).
I'd love to learn that this was a simple mistake on my part!
Thanks, Luke

Yeah, that's one of the reasons why I've never really liked using Pd on OSX. (There are other reasons, in particular the abuse of anti-aliasing.)

Hi mac-pder, try using shift-click instead to select multiple objects.
