You're welcome!  No, it didn't take too much time really.  Adding a control to make using the menu mode optional would have been more effort, and I may do that in the future if requested, but not for now...

Hi Philipp,
               As of tomorrow's daily build, Basic Actions will honor the current Select menu mode.

Hi Elaine
just a follow-up question on the Select  Menu_Mode:Add, do you think it could make sense to apply this mode also to user-defined names listed in the Basic Actions window? That seems at the moment neither in ChimeraX 0.93 nor in 1.0 the case, but could be an easy way to add  fast a bunch of named selections to the current selection. Also for the subtract/intersect modes that might be an interesting option? 
 
best wishes,
 
Philipp

Hi Philipp,
I don't think there is an ISOLDE for 1.0 yet.  If I look at the toolshed it says ISOLDE 1.05b "works with 0.93"
 
 
Best,
Elaine

Changing to Menu_Mode:Add in Menu:Select seems not to have any effect on that. I think in Chimera1 named selections still could be added to the current selection using the „append“ selection mode. At the moment adding named selections to the current selection works for me in ChimeraX just with the command line „select add“ command.
