Hi Difei,

  To turn on the space navigator in ChimeraX use ChimeraX command

device snav on

There also some options to control its speed and movement mode described in the documentation

https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/commands/device.html#snav

I justed tried it in ChimeraX 1.3 on a Mac laptop and it worked fine.  You can add the above command to be run every time you start ChimeraX using Preferences / Startup.

  In Chimera there was no command to turn the space navigator on or off, it was always on if plugged in.

Hello ChimeraX team,
 
Thanks for developing the ChimeraX! It is easier to use than Chimera.
However, I noticed that my 3Dconnexion could not work anymore when I use
ChimeraX. Will it be possible to include such a function in the future version
of ChimeraX?
 
Thanks,
Difei
