[chimerax-users] Focus in ChimeraX

[Elaine Meng]

Hi Luca,
Tristan is right of course, see "view" and its "cofr" option:

<http://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/view.html#initial>

I just wanted to add that there's an icon to do this in a single click, in the Graphics tab of the toolbar:

I hope this helps,
Elaine
