(sorry that you're getting this twice, IOhannes, I hit reply rather than reply to all the first time) <br><br>
<div class="gmail_quote"><div class="im"><div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">you can do that with a gui-plugin :-)<br>
however, your description is deliberatly awkward.<br>
e.g. there is no reason to explicitely "deselect" the object.<br>
you don't have to "press backspace while holding mouse down".<br>
<br>
it is enough to "select" the object (drag the lasso over it), and once<br>
it is selected, press backspace (with mouse up or down)<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Ah, I didn't know that there was a difference between clicking on and drag-selecting. Enlightening!<br><br></div><div class="im">

<br>
</div>i think this is actually a good thing.<br>
you can also not send data from inlets to outlets.<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>I
acknowledge that we have a difference of opinion here, and can't think
of a persuasive argument. Would be a good subject for user experience
testing :P<br></div></div></blockquote><div><br>It may be good for didactic reasons to have the patching consistent with the logic behind it in that way.<br>But from a purely practical standpoint, it could save some cursor-miles if we could connect from outlets to inlets too.<br>

i mean, i understand that it is more ergonomic to just hold "ctrl" and<br>
then click all those connections you want to delete rather than having<br>
to click-backspace every connection.<br>
you save a lot of clicks (well, keypresses), but i doubt that the<br>
_speedup_ would be significant.<br></blockquote></div></div><div>It's slightly physically unpleasant - going between a touchpad and backspace with my right hand is a little awkward. <br><br></div><div class="im"><div>

<div>> 5 - is there a way to type numbers directly into a number box?<br>
> clicking+dragging, or pumping them in via a message, doesn't feel good to<br>

<br>
</div>click on the number box and type the numberbox.<br>
this is a runmode operation (that's why you probably missed it)<br></blockquote></div></div><div><br>Wow.
Thanks for this. Possibly editmode, but also because there's no
indication that the box contents are editable by pressing keys (no
caret, &c.). Is there a reason it's disabled in editmode?<br>
<br>Thanks for your responses :) <br><font color="#888888"><font color="#888888"><br>S<br></font></font></div></div>
