I *much* prefer this to the idea of having a shortcut per object type
(ctrl-6 ctrl-7 or whatever). I keeps things generic and allows for the
addition of extra object types in the future.
You gain the maximum added functionality for the least additional
learning/shortcuts: Keep It Simple Stupid!
Furthermore, you could also extend Ctrl+Return, making it the shortcut
for connecting already instantiated objects. I.e if we select (with the
mouse):
|1 ( |2 ( |3 (
[f ]
... and hit Ctrl+Return we get the outlets of the message boxes
connected to the left inlet of [f ].
