hi
no I never tried it (when I discovered it back in the years, my linux 
knowledge was close to null and I thought that the project was dropped 
(for some reasons..))
it always looked amazing to me, congrats ! (as well as gridflow)

I had to use pd again not long ago and thought that I should try to code 
these goodies for the sake of patching faster and with (nearly) no mouse 
(although I hate tcl, gui-plugins are cool =)

I'll give a try at desiredata and let you know.

cheers,
