ah yes, that works if I simulate a double-click.
it seems that simulating the mouse is a bad idea (focus problems).
how would I go to simulate CTRL-A ??
this does not work:
proc ctrl_all {} {
...
set key Control_L
set a 97
pdsend $mytoplevel key 1 $key 0
pdsend $mytoplevel key 1 $a 0
pdsend $mytoplevel key 0 $a 0
pdsend $mytoplevel key 0 $key 0
}

actually this should be better but it also does not work:
pdsend $mytoplevel selectall
in pd, it seems that CTRL-A just releases the object.

Have you tried watching the actual traffic that pd-gui sends to pd?
Run pd from the command line like 'pd -stderr -d 3' and you'll see the
communications between pd and pd-gui. -d 1 would be one direction of
that traffic, and -d 2 would be the other direction, but I forget
which is which.
That way you can figure out which messages are the ones that you want
to hijack :)

Can't be done -- the actual text editing is done in Pd and the TCL code is just to display the current state of affairs down in Pd.
