Everything you mentioned is hardcoded in Pd's editor itself. And the "widgetbehaviour" API is really a prime example of bad design (with respect to extendibility), so it's not easy to change it to make more objects do something class-specific in edit mode, without cluttering rather unrelated code (g_editor), or - possibly - resorting to even uglier hacks mfg.sfg.jfd IOhannes --- pd-dev@lists.iem.at - the Pd developers' mailinglist https://lists.iem.at/hyperkitty/list/pd-dev@lists.iem.at/message/ZSJIMCIVAUF2MYACJ6OEU3IZMB7FCIHZ/
