thanks. i don't think i fully understand your reply, but i'm also not sure whether this is what i need: i'm not looking for simpler and / or more flexible ways to control mode & cursor movement. i'm looking for a way to make a keyboard action 'conditional': hitting the spacebar should have no effect in edit mode, and perform certain things (to be hooked up per version of the 'motherpatch' that i base patches for specific pieces on ... at least that's the plan ;) ) when in play mode. so i'm looking for a way to get the information about status mode from pd, which i'll then attempt to have control a spigot or sth similar. i'd be happy if someone could point me to a solution--maybe simply a search term for the list archives? searching on mode status, edit mode and similar wasn't very satisfying. thanks, robbert
