Nevermind, <KeyPress> steals keys for itself and turns pd unusable.
Thanks for that %W trick, I now have the mouse features I was looking for.

Thanks a lot, @whale-av, I think I know what to try! If I want to listen to [pd mysubpatch], I just have to get its id with [window_name pd-mysubpatch] and filter out the messages from other windows.

$focussed_window(join ".c") == %W

Where can I learn more about this wizardry? I wasn't able to get key info from the plugin, I don't understand how to use commands from the tcl doc...

@jona @whale-av I've been starting to mess with tcl plugins to see if I could replace [toxy/tot] object.
toxy
tot

The tot's third outlet optionally captures a stream of Pd gui messages dealing with user control over a destination canvas.
i.e. motion, mouseup/down, keys, etc... of specific chosen windows (title passed by message or argument).

How could one translate the window ID in jona's plugin to the window title?

Do you how to copy the content of an array to another with [tabread]&[tabwrite]+a counter (control objects)?
I'd just plug an interpolation function similar to that of [tabread4~] between them.

@whale-av I'd totally buy you a beer or two just to hear more about those interesting things from your job.

how would one do a while where the number of iterations is not known in advance?

I'd just trigger a bang to stop the [until] when the condition is met.

Last time I checked there was a bug with the hotspot of children nested datastructures:
https://sourceforge.net/p/pure-data/bugs/358/

Hi,

[traverse window, bang( is to append data, the pointer points to the created item.

If you want to retreive data, it's [traverse window( and then how many [next(s needed for the pointer to point towards the target item.

To get it working I had to pass jack options like frames, SR, buffers, audio and midi channels... when lanching pd, along with -rt -jack. See pd --help for the list of said options. I made a launcher for that. whenever I forget about it and lauch pd any other way it crashes.

I recently discovered MidiShaper ( http://www.cableguys.de/midi-shaper.html ) and thought it would be useful to draw Bezier curves in wavetables, and then use them such as automation, enveloppes or even waveforms. Here's a patch getting the job done, at least for a reasonable amount of points.
