[chimerax-users] Mouse modes

[Yazan Abbas]

Hi Elaine,

Thanks. I was aware of the toolbar but hadn't come across the ui mouse mode
page in the user guide. Is there a way to center the view based based on
where you click (similar to chimera, pymol, coot)? I think that would be
really helpful in combination with cofr centerOfView. It's also a very
handy way to navigate maps and models, by clicking on where you want to
center.
