Hi Oli, The most similar thing that we have currently is custom presets (defined via command script) that show up in the Presets menu, see: <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/preferences.html#startup> And as you saw, Eric created a ticket for an Aliases menu, #9627, although it may take a while for it to be addressed. Currently you can remind yourself of the existing aliases with command "alias list" <https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/alias.html> I hope this helps, Elaine ----- Elaine C.

Hi, I love the ability to customize the home tab of the toolbar, but there are some other things that I would like to add there and I don’t see how.
Is there any way to add shortcuts/icons for the model panel, the log and the volume viewer?
The use case is that I prefer to keep all panels undocked, in order to maximize screen real estate when working on a laptop - having shortcuts to bring these up would be convenient.
It would also be great to have a shortcut for either a specific alias, or a dropdown menu of aliases, for custom lighting/visualization modes defined in the startup commands.
Cheers Oli
