Eddie, I know shift-clicking on atoms will add them to the selection on desktop, but I'm not sure how that works in VR. My SEQCROW bundle has a mouse mode for selecting entire fragments. This should let you click on one atom in a molecule to easily select the whole thing. I've never used VR, so I'm not sure if it works with that or what that looks like. If you want to test it out, it's the "select fragment" mode on the "more right mouse" toolbar. After installing SEQCROW, you'll have to restart ChimeraX to see this toolbar.

I can't seem to figure out how to select an entire (water) molecule. The select atom lets me select one atom, but I cannot chain or add more atoms. Some atoms seem to refuse to move even when I try to move one at a time using the "Move atoms" right mouse option. Any help would be appreciated as I can't find much about translating molecules (the bond rotation works perfectly!). Thanks! Eddie
