It's not that uncommon if you think of operator overloading in C++ and many other languages, or things like "from math import radians as rad" in Python. Shortcuts can be a very strong argument, and especially in a graphical language, [t a a a a a a] often is better than [trigger anything anything anything anything anything anything] Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org__ _______________________________________________ PD-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-dev
