Hi, had a few questions about the documentation. A click in the graphics window may be required. Sometimes it is necessary to click in the graphics window to take back focus from some other dialog so that accelerator or command keystrokes will register.
is there a way to send accelerators through the Viewing-Side View?
I have been dedicating one monitor for the 3D graphics and the other for control, menus, etc. using various USB devices sending accelerators. Would prefer not put to the focus/mouse cursor on the 3D graphics. Accelerators could be shown on menu entries. The keyboard shortcuts could be shown on the corresponding menu entries to make them easier to learn.?
How?

Hi Matt, The second one is a limitation that they are NOT shown on menu entries (not to mention that several of their functions are not in the menu). It was worded ambiguously… "could be shown" was supposed to indicate that it is an improvement that could be made, at least when there is a corresponding menu item, but that we haven't done it. Sorry. Maybe I should change that to simply say "are not shown." <http://www.rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimera/docs/ContributedSoftware/accelerators/accel...> For the first one, not as far as I know, but maybe those with programming expertise can suggest something devious.

Hi Matt, The side view does not accept typed keyboard input, but in tonight’s daily build it will, and it will behave as if typed to the maiin Chimera window. Tom
