Yes, and the command the menu item uses is echoed to the Log. If nothing is selected, the command is "view". If something is selected the command is "view sel". --Eric

Hi Christian, The paradigm in ChimeraX (and Chimera) is that the Actions menu works on what is selected.
If you have nothing selected, View is like command "view" without specificiations ... if you have something selected, it is like command "view sel"
I hope this makes sense. Best, Elaine ----- Elaine C. Meng, Ph.D. UCSF Chimera(X) team Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry University of California, San Francisco

Dear Eric, Oliver, et al.
you may remember my comment on the missing "focus" function.
Anyhow, what I noticed now is interesting:
The function of the "view" command is different in the menus vs. the command line.
in the command line, "view" will zoom out and show everything
in the menu, "view" will focus on the selected ligand or whatever (which is what I want a bit more, mostly)
Perhaps this could be resolved with modified or rather re-surrected terminology:
Focus on selection: "focus" in command line "focus on selection" in menu
Zoom to fit all: "zoomall" in command line "zoom to fit all" in menu
just some suggestions. But what I think is clear is that the function of commandos should be identical in menu and command line.
Again, thank you very much for your important and good work on the Chimera software.
Best wishes Christian
