[PD] interface wishlist

[tim]

Hello,
here's my current Pd GUI wishlist, things that could streamline my work 
flow, things that don't seem logical to me...etc:

I wish:
-going in and out of edit mode was reflected by the cursor turning into 
a hand or arrow immediately, not requiring the user to move it first, 
who, if newbie, can get confused if he/she hasn't moved the mouse.
(this is the case on some versions I use in class, specifically 
pd-extended OSX I think)
-shift-click-and-drag on a number box would also work after you already 
clicked. Another idea: ctrl-click-drag to increment in steps of 10 or 100.
-home, end, shift+left/right, ctrl+left/right, ctrl+shift+left/right 
would work within object boxes just like in a text editor.
-click+drag a single object or messagebox wouldn't automatically 
activate text entry mode but the object itself stays the selection, so 
that you can move it again or use arrow keys for repositioning without 
having to deselect+reselect first.
-for a multiple connections facility, to connect all outlets of object a 
to all inlets of object b, and variations on that. (I think max has had 
this for a while, and maybe desiredata ?).
-'subpatcherize'
-that when deleting all text in a comment and clicking outside it, the 
comment would be deleted, so that if you save the patch, close it, and 
reopen it, there doesn't appear the word 'comment' everywhere you left a 
'blank' comment this way. Alternatively it could become 'comment' upon 
finalizing an empty comment, so that you can still see, select and 
delete it.
-the file browser (openpanel/savepanel) would support keystrokes to 
navigate: alt+up one dir up, tab to toggle focus between text entry and 
graphical area (where folders and files are displayed)...etc
-opening the filebrowser wouldn't cause the Pd main window to pop in 
front of all the patcher windows after it is closed.
-one object could be finalized by clicking the outlet of another object, 
so that you can immediately connect it. The extra click outside the 
object to finalize it first is unnecessary. When I click the outlet of 
another object, it is obvious that I am done typing the name of the 
current one.
