autocompletion? i never write more than prep into the object

I guess I was thinking more along the lines of visually keeping code condense.

go to your Packages folder and create a new folder. give it a cool name.

in that folder create another folder called "init"

in that folder create a file called "my-objectmappings.txt"

add the following lines to that file:
max objectfile prep prepend;
max objectfile app append;

Thanks from me too, Rob. I reckon this feature should be in "MaxMSP Suggested Practices".

I'm with you, Josh - I like visually neat code (it helps my struggling brain) and will definitely use this to shorten [patcherargs] to [args]. I often have to move stuff over to make space for this (IMO) unnecessarily long object.

I would love a bi-polar option added to some of the GUI knob-shapes like slider and dial.

I saw dial now has 'pan' but it has this big ugly clock hand (sometimes I add text labels into the nice negative space in the centre of the dial and this messes with it) and automatically connects the tip to the outer edges, flipping back and forward as it passes 0. Why not have something the same as arc, but connected to the centre instead of the outer edges?
