[chimerax-users] re-assignment of mousemode

[Elaine Meng]

Another way to set pivot (without changing mouse-button functions) is by:

(1) selecting an atom (Ctrl-click on the atom in the graphics window) that you want as the center of rotation
(2) using menu: Actions... Set Pivot

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.
