In github, I had commented two months ago that this really should be a user preference.

Actually it looks not crazy-difficult to implement that myself. I can't prioritize that project so it might take a little while, but I think I see the main code bits to take as models.

@ddw_music I might take a look at this and add the preference to pd-next too, if it isn't accepted. after all it's just an aesthetic/editing thing that doesn't affect the objects or patch format at all..
I think another option would be to have a keybinding to edit currently selected object(s?), since the users who want to edit object text after ctl-d need to use the keyboard at that point anyways
