Hi Oliver, I am loathe to add a general command that no one will ever type in the command line or put in a command script, and that completely depends on the state of a running graphical tool (e.g. the check states of the model panel Skip buttons). Nonetheless, there is nothing stopping you from defining a special-purpose command for your needs. There are many examples in the Chimera Recipes pages (e.g. Connect nearby atoms | ChimeraX Recipes <https://rbvi.github.io/chimerax-recipes/connect/connect.html>). In your case, since the commands you're defining takes no arguments, the corresponding Python functions would take only a "session" argument, and you could omit the 'required' and 'keyword' arguments in their CmdDesc definitions. The actual Python functions would be pretty simple: def next_model(session): from chimera.model_panel.tool import model_panel mp = model_panel(session, "Model Panel") mp._next_model() def previous_model(session): from chimera.model_panel.tool import model_panel mp = model_panel(session, "Model Panel") mp._previous_model() --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Hi all,
I really like the new sequential model display controls in the daily build - thank you so much for implementing these! Would it be possible to add them as a command, e.g. nextmodel and prevmodel?
This way I could add them to my box of buttons, and have them in the main GUI window, without needing to switch over to the model panel.
Cheers Oli
