I think it would be possible to do something like that in Pd and the<br>iemguis, since you can move them with messages.

</div><div>The iemguis allowing movement by messages is cool, but it wouldn't help for regular objects of course. Offhand the pieces needed would be:</div><div>Query Pd for the IDs of the currently selected objects</div>
<div>Query Pd for the position of an object id</div><div>Move any object by message.</div><div><br> </div><div>I guess you'd need namecanvas in every patch being manipulated (hm, how would you capture the key commands? [key] needs focus, and [hid] wouldn't know what's focused?)...
