Hi Juha, There are always tricks! I use keyboard shortcuts to do this. You have to turn on keyboard shortcuts to use them (menu Tools / General Controls / Keyboard Shortcuts, then click Enable keyboard shortcuts). The shortcuts are 2-key sequences (no return key) typed in the graphics window and the relevant ones for your task are: Da - deletes selected markers/atoms sc - select all markers/atoms connected to the already selected ones by links/bonds So the typical use to delete a chain of markers is to select one with the mouse then type sc, then Da. The uppercase D is important. Upper case in shortcuts is used if the action has serious irreversible consequences. If you use the Chimera command-line that overrides the shortcuts. To get back to using shortcuts use the Chimera command "ac" and press return (that's a command not a shortcut, stands for accelerators). Here's a full list of shortcuts. http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/accelerators/alist.... Your mouse mode would be nice. We need better support for alternate mouse modes in Chimera like a palette of modes as in paint programs. Tom Juha Huiskonen wrote:
Dear Chimera developers & users,
I am visualizing template matching results of volume data in Chimera, and I have to discard hundreds of false positives matches, represented as markers.
Now I select some markers and then delete the selected markers from the Volume Path Tracer menu. This is quite slow, and for me it would be really handy, if I could delete (all linked) markers just by clicking (one of them) them.
Maybe "delete markers with mouse" feature could be added to Volume Path Tracer module?
Or is there already a faster way to do this?
Thanks a lot in advance for your suggestions!
Juha
