[chimerax-users] mousemode and ISOLDE

[Alexis Rohou]

Hi all,

Not sure whether this is a ChimeraX question, or an ISOLDE question, or a
bit of both.

I am using ChimeraX 1.0 (2020-06-04) and ISOLDE
version ChimeraX_ISOLDE-1.0.1-cp37-cp37m-macosx_10_13_x86_64.whl.

When I start ChimeraX, I get the following left mouse bindings, which I
believe are default:
- ctrl-left click = select
- shift-ctrl-left click = select add

When I just start ISOLDE via the GUI menu (no further action), this seems
to clear the mousemode. Or, at least, ctrl-click does not select anymore,
and shift-ctrl-click also doesn't seem to do anything.

To remedy this, I issue the following commands:
mousemode control left select
mousemode control shift left 'select add'

This restores ctrl-left to 'select' as expected, but shift-ctrl-left also
triggers 'select', not 'select add'.

Couple of questions:
(1) Is ISOLDE intentionally overriding mousemode when it is launched? I'm
99.9% this didn't use to be the case pre-1.0...
(2) How do I restore shift-ctrl-left to 'select add'? I assume I am getting
the syntax wrong, but I did read the doc and thought I was following it, so
I guess I need some help understanding the syntax.

Cheers,
Alexis
