[chimerax-users] mousemode and ISOLDE

[Tristan Croll]

Hmm... that sounds problematic. ISOLDE *does* use a customised select mouse mode that limits mouse selections to atoms*, bonds and ribbons from ISOLDE’s currently-selected model. Could this be throwing you off?

* an approach that made sense at the time (around 2 years ago)... now that things are more mature perhaps it’s time I looked at making ISOLDE play nicely with the default select mode.
