Quick way to open a parent patch?

Tom Law's icon

Quite often I'll be working in a subpatch, and then need to look at or edit its parent patch.  I know I can hit F8, click on the "patcher windows" icon at the bottom, and then choose the bottom listed patch.  But is there a way to accomplish this in fewer steps?   A keyboard command would be ideal.

(I know I could install thispatcher 'front'/'wclose' commands in every patch, but I'd rather not have to do that!)

Hi, you create an [inlet] or [outlet] if there isn't one and double click it.

Well by golly isn't that handy? Thanks so much!
I wonder how many other neat tricks like that there are that I don't know about...

I reckon 11Olsen should be commissioned to write an edition of ”Max for Dummies”! ;-)
