Just want to note that you should always use the untruncated versions of the commands in any command script. That way the scripts won't break in newer versions of ChimeraX when new commands or keywords are added. -- Greg On 1/8/2024 10:33 PM, Tony Schaefer via ChimeraX-users wrote:
Anne-Frances,
ChimeraX commands and their keywords can already be abbreviated, as long as enough of the word is typed for ChimeraX to identify the command/argument. For example, I can run `sa test.png t f` and ChimeraX expands this to `save test.png transparentBackground false`. This works because `save` is the only command that starts with "sa", `transparentBackground` is the only keyword it's expecting that starts with "t", and `false` is the only option it's expecting for `transparentBackground` that starts with "f".

Best,

Dear Sir or Madam, Re. ChimeraX 1.7: the image save option ’transparent background true’ is very long, and typo-prone. Is there an abbreviation or short form /please/?
