[PD-dev] Keyboard shortcut for Left-click?

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

That sounds like an interesting idea.  I think the way to do it is to  
look into Tcl key bindings.  They are not that hard.  Basically, you  
just have to find the function that starts the connection, and makes  
the connection, then bind the "c" key to it.  In the pd.tk/u_main.tk,  
check out the "bind" statements.

If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into  
the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess  
himself of it.            - Thomas Jefferson
