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
That's actually a good argument. With IEM GUIs, the argument list is so
long that it is not really practical to type it out, but with gatoms
this could be a nice shortcut, for example, to create a float atom with
send/receive names without opening the properties.

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)

Best,
