Hi Oli,
Ok, I added the shortcut "ri" to ChimeraX that selects all the residues in a chain between two already selected residues. In ChimeraX you can enable keyboard shortcuts with the command "ks". Then there are various two letter keyboard shortcuts you can type when you have clicked on the graphics pane instead of typing commands. The shortcut "cl" gets you back to typing normal commands. The shortcut "Ls" lists the shortcuts. You can also just run a shortcut as a command like "ks ri" which won't switch you into shortcut mode. The two-letter shortcuts are an undocumented feature. I think we decided many years ago not to develop it in ChimeraX since it was used by so few people in the old Chimera.
You could define the selbetween command to run the residue interval shortcut
alias selbetween ks ri
We should add an official command (e.g. "select between"?) for this. I wanted to see what other ChimeraX developers thought about that before adding such a command.
Tom
Here are the shortcuts listed using command "ks Ls". I added this Ls shortcut and the ri shortcut to the August 23, 2023 daily build.

Hi,
In Chimera, the accelerator “ri” selects intervening residues. This is convenient because one can select two residues (let’s say at the start and end of a domain) and then select all the residues between them without having to explicitly specify a residue range (I have this bound to the alias “selbetween”) in Chimera.
Is there any equivalent accelerator in ChimeraX?
Cheers
OIi
