Re: [Chimera-users] mouse selection problem

Hi, just a small problem I hope. When I am selecting residues with ctrl +left mouse button, chimera is always replacing the earlier selection, independent on the selection mode I chose (append, subtract).
Is it possible to change this?
Hi Meikel, This behavior isn't a bug per se, but rather a deliberate design decision. We decided to not have the mouse selection honor the selection mode since it is possible to emulate all the selection modes directly with the mouse (except for intersect). If you hold down the Shift key as you are making a mouse selection then everything chosen with the mouse will have it's selection state toggled (selected items become unselected and vice versa), and other items will not have their selection state changed. So you can "subtract" by shift-control clicking/dragging on selected items, and you can "append" by shift- control clicking/dragging on unselected items. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab http://www.cgl.ucsf.edu
