let me ask the other way? why has pd to behave different than every other program on my computer?

Yes, I also don't understand this ... Although there might be a workaround, newbies (and even me as not so new newbie) don't know this and are only irritated.

That feature also drives me nuts. I think it could be useful, but it should be something that is a preference that can be controlled by messages. That way you can turn it on only when you are performing, for example. Then it would be useful.

what's bad about using 'shift'? i don't get it.

I never remember that it is an option. No other app does that. I don't want to have to think about basic key commands, they should just work. NeXTSTEP (which Mac OS X is, basically) is really good about consistent key commands throughout every app, I've been using NeXTSTEP since '94. Once you get use to using less brain power to use your computer, so you can use your brain for more interesting things, it's hard to go back.
