Just repeating what I said on the other thread, to make sure the solution is captured here: when another mousemode is explicitly mapped to shift-right-click, you can still get rotation from the right-mouse “translate selected atoms” mode as long as you right-click and hold *before* pressing shift. :)

Hi there,

Wondering if anyone else gets this behavior:

When ISOLDE is running, setting the right mouse click to translate selected atoms does NOT associate shift-right-click with rotating selected atoms; instead, shift-right click does a zoom.

In addition, if I try to force it by issuing the two commands below, the shift right click still isn't a rotate selected atom; instead, it does a translate selected atoms.
ui mousemode right "translate selected atoms"
ui mousemode shift right "rotate selected atoms"

My workaround is to use alt-right for rotating instead. That does work:
ui mousemode right "translate selected atoms"
ui mousemode alt right "rotate selected atoms"

This is with ChimeraX 1.6.1, but I'm pretty sure I noticed this behavior in earlier versions also.

Tristan recently posted a screen capture where it's clear he doesn't have this problem, but he's on Windows and I'm on Mac, so I wonder whether that might have something to do with it.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Alexis
