Key Commands

You can use a single key press to create objects in a patcher, as follows:

• b: button
• c: comment
• f: floating point number box.
• i: integer number box.
• j: object box containing "jit." for creating Jitter objects.
• l: object box containing "live." for creating Live objects.
• m: message box
• n: new object box
• p: A capital letter "p" will create a patcher object.
• P: A capital letter "P" will create an object box containing the message newobj @presentation 1 @text and a cursor. When you type the name of an object (e.g. dial) and hit a carriage return, the object will transform itself into a copy of the object whose name you type in, and the object will be automatically added to the Presentation Layer.
• t: toggle.
• x: shows a menu describing the key commands.
