Hi EP, Putting cofr output in the log with comma's and no spaces so it could be pasted into a command script without editing would help you, but for people who want the log to be legible, probably the majority of users, it seems to make it worse. With commas > cofr Center of rotation: -9.8798,1.6928,0.0084028 front center With spaces > cofr Center of rotation: -9.8798 1.6928 0.0084028 front center I'm inclined not to change it for the copy-and-paste to a script use. Unfortunately we have to compromise to do what is best for the majority of people using ChimeraX. The only way to customize the ChimeraX logged output is to edit the Python code. Not sure how you envision requesting different output formats -- that does seem like a fantasy world. Tom

Dear ChimeraX crew,
A minor quality-of-life improvement request: would it be possible to have the command cofr output the values as a comma-separated list instead of a whitespace separated one? I am including cofr information reatively often in my figure preparation scripts and having NOT to always replace these when copy&pasting would be a nice improvement!
Also, in general, can I customize the output of commands to the log (such as view matrix, cofr, zoom, clip list) within an alias for example? In a fluffy dream world, I would have an output from these that I can directly copy&paste to my scripts and get the camera positioned Just Right.
Cheers, EP
