[Chimera-users] [chimerax-users] re-assignment of mousemode

[piskacek at post.cz]

Dear Elaine,
thank you very much for your assistance, but

I do everything correctly, but it just did not work = see figure

I would like to rotate tryptofan in my figure, so as first I need to set 
pivot on the C-atom (designated here as CB) and than rotate with right mouse
the  tryptofan

"You have to display the atoms (e.g. command "show") and click on an atom. 
You said "on amino acid" which makes me think you are clicking on the ribbon
instead, which is not the same as clicking on an atom and will not set the 
pivot. 

If you are displaying atoms and after clicking the Right Mouse "set pivot" 
icon, clicking the atom with the right mouse button doesn't make that atom 
the center of rotation, then you can use menu: Help... Report a Bug to 
submit a bug report that includes more information about your specific type 
of computer. 

If you don't want to show atoms, you can select ribbon of the amino acid 
with Ctrl-click (which will draw a green outline for that residue) and then 
use the Actions menu method described in my second message to set the pivot 
to the whole selected residue instead of to a single atom.

a right button, or can you use trackpad + Alt as the right button? If you 
click any other icons in the Right Mouse tab of the Toolbar, can you 
successfully assign any of those other functions to the right mouse button?

Clicking the icon only reassigns the function of the right mouse button, but
does not perform any action at that time. However, if you reassign to pivot 
by clicking the Right Mouse pivot icon, for example, then later clicking 
with the right mouse button (if you have one) on an atom will make that atom
the pivot point.
