Hi, this looks like wonderful! I'll try it out in a couple of days and give feedback. I can also help with code if needed.
My biggest issue with visual programming is the amount of mouse interaction needed in contrast to text based programming (especially when sitting in a shaky ÖBB-train with a tiny laptop). A keyboard workflow like yours could be extremely useful for power users. Christof Gesendet: Samstag, 08.

I've finally managed to get time to finish a prototype for a keyboard navigation interface. I mixed some ideas i had with some I've seen in Desire Data's old screenshot gallery (http://artengine.ca/desiredata/). I've recorded some gifs to demonstrate it. (https://imgur.com/gallery/WSB40P7[https://imgur.com/gallery/WSB40P7]). It shows me using the help patch (which i've put in 7.stuff/keyboard.navigation). You can read about which keys to use in the comments. The source can be found on my GitHub, on the kbd_nav branch (https://github.com/HenriAugusto/pure-data/tree/kbd_nav[https://github.com/HenriAugusto/pure-data/tree/kbd_nav]) Basically I've wanted to try: - navigating through objects/inelts connection with ctrl+arrows (cmd+arrows on Mac) - automatically positioning new objects according to selected inlet/outlet - a console bar to send messages to the focused patch - ability to display each object index (to be used with the functionalities below) - a new "goto" canvas message to select any object in the patch - a "magnetic connector" that connects the selected in/outlet to the nearest ins/outs - a "digit connectors" that displays indexes 0 to 9 for the 10 nearest possible connections. Just press the number and it will connect it for you - pd can automatically fill for you a "connect" message in the console containing the info for the selected inlet/outlet. It will even select for you the part you need to fill - You can click objects with shift+enter. Mostly useful for sending bangs and opening subpatches/abstractions Everything is intended to be as minimal as possible and very easy to use. I wish to propose we study including it in vanilla. Well, what do you guys think? This is my first time working on a project this big so help me out if i did anything incorrectly. I've been testing the major functions on Win for a while now but couldn't test on mac/linux. Cheers, Henri._______________________________________________ Pd-dev mailing list pd-...@lists.iem.at https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev[https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev] _______________________________________________ Pd-list@lists.iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management -> https://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list
