Why not setting command+p as a default shortcut to add an object to 

presentation mode? (It is not possible to print a patch anymore in

Why not setting command+p as a default shortcut to add an object to  
presentation mode? (It is not possible to print a patch anymore in

If you create an object (with 'n' shortcut for instance) in

In the next coming soon (hopefully) incremental, you'll be able to 

press 'P' to directly create an object with the presentation attribute

press 'P' to directly create an object with the presentation attribute  
enabled. This is made possible by adding the following line to max-

max definecommand P patcher inserttextobj "newobj @presentation 1  
@text ";
