I have a request concerning the selection of objects.
It would be nice when one selects objects, that in any panel, for instance the frontpanel, they are selected as well. In SynthEdit this is possible, and makes it very easy to move or delete objects, for instance background graphics that need to be moved, without having to move the object that is on top. In SynthMaker right now, when you select an object in the frontpanel, and you want to delete it, it deletes the whole module, instead of just the selected object. Would make the workflow even better in my opinion.

Also.
If an object or module is selected deep inside the scheme.... then jump to the frontpanel that object or module. ( could be a button or a bunch of buttons/controls/visuals) can be moved.
Something similar exists in Reaktor. Not very well implemented but it works.

Sure you know it, but when you double click on it, you are redirected to the source, so I usually use that function to verify the correspondence between a GUI element and its source. I'm happy with that, sincerly... 😉

I know, that is a cool and helpful option, but what I am talking about is slightly different. For instance, when I am doing graphics, and the background is repositioned (in Photoshop), loading that background into SM, then I just need to slightly move the group adornments to correspond with the altered background...in my schematics most of the time the adornment is underneath whatever is on top, a filter, a envelope, whatever...now I have to move these, before I can get to the adornment....if I just could select them all in the module I put them, and then go back to the frontpanel and just use the cursor keys to move them all at once, would be great. Now my "problem" get's even worse when I have the top things positioned off grid...getting them back in the correct position is a b*tch, that made me think about this stuff really...
