How to delete short patch cables

James Harkins's icon

If you have placed objects vertically fairly close together (but the patch cable is visible)... what is the method to select and delete the patch cable?

The outlet and inlet hot zones take up all the vertical space, so you can't click on the cable.

Zooming in seems also to zoom in on the hot zones, so you still can't click on the cable.

I see no menu option to deal with this.

Do I have to move one object, delete the cable, and then move it back? That's not very user friendly.

you can use ctrl+drag to select the zone (it will select patch and objects, and after add shift to unselect the objects..
...or let more spaces between your objects =)
maybe there are others solutions

alt+click on window seems to select objects too, isn't it ?
...I never used "hide foreground".. thanks !

OK! Bit strange display but that would work.
