Hi Gabor, If we eliminated keyboard shortcuts there would be new commands or buttons that do the things that only shortcuts can currently do. But I more and more think we need to keep the shortcuts because I frequently give demonstrations and use them very heavily. It doesn't seem right to give demonstrations using shortcuts that are not available to users. You can still extract a subregion of a volume by outlining it with a box using the volume dialog subregion panel, or by using the "vop" command resample option. The subregion panel has improved in Chimera 1.3 and 1.4 so it allows rotating the subregion box to an arbitrary orientation. Tom Gabor Papai wrote:
Hi,
I wonder if you discontinue keyboard shortcuts, the features - like "erase outside" - will be discontinued also? I use some of these features. An other question: is it possible to cut out a subregion from a density map in old style, I mean to set the position, size and resolution of the cube, which defines the new volume?
