[PD] why not adding other boxes like gatom from objects?

[Fede Camara Halac]

Here's my 2 cents, if I understand porres' question right. 

Personally, I always type iemgui names, to be honest. But, I think typing "floatatom" or "symbolatom" (or "listbox") into an object would be cumbersome at first glance, and we would need an alias to make it worth. In that sense, their shortcut is just the way to go. 

However, there are some cases where a typed gatom is what you need; for example, if you are on autopatch and want a gatom without mouse input, or dynamic patching stuff. 

On that note, typing something like "arraygraph" into an object would put an array on the canvas (as you would from the menu, or the shortcut)

And finally, to complicate things further, arguments would be also a nice feature to have in typed gatoms: limits, send/rcv, labels, or array name, size, etc 

Best,
