Does anyone by any chance know of a way to enter numbers into a number box without having to click on it? Is there an object that will turn a bang into a 'click' or anything?

@JoeB Yes..... easy......if you only need 0-9
no_click.pd
If you need other (larger) numbers then let us know..... usually anything is possible in Pd.
P.S. your number keys might not give the same values as mine, and so you might need to change the "modifier" [-48]

@JoeB Somebody PLEASE find a better way to do this!!!
Here you can type a number, up to 5 digits (can easily be more) into a number box without using your mouse.
no_no_click.pd
Please tell me what it is for?
David.

Hi
you could use [entry] as the number entry field, when the tab key is pressed [entry] gets the focus and ctrl-tab sends the focus to the next {entry].

I made a vanilla abstraction to do that. You can type any value Pd can handle, and you can use many abstraction switching between them using shift+first_argument (hope this works on other platforms, I'm on OS X, using a UK keyboard). You can also correct a value with backspace.
Get it here https://github.com/alexdrymonitis/miscellaneous_abstractions

Let me know if the shift+first_argument doesn't work. There's a help patch included.
It's called "no_click_val.pd".

I've fixed a couple of bugs, so now you can have more than ten abstractions and switch between them using shift+first_argument, plus you can erase digits also when using decimal values. Same GitHub.
