Hi everyone,
There is no doubt that we have a very good documentation on the different functions of ChimeraX as well as for Chimera. Nevertheless, sometimes it is easy to have a summarized sheet with the most used functions and options.
I plan to start doing a cheat sheet for me, and it would be great to make it open source. However I might not be aware of the existence of one already. Does anyone know/have one and would be willing to share with the community, or point me to one available online? Or has the ChimeraX team any plans to do one in the near future?
Thank you, André
Hi André, Short answer is no, not exactly, but we would be interested in seeing what you generate!
The longer answer is that I was hoping that the main index of the User Guide would help to quickly directly people to topics of interest. (Unfortunately we do not have a search yet.) Most of the summaries I have written are topic-specific, e.g. "measurements" as mentioned below.
In the User Guide index: https://rbvi.ucsf.edu/chimerax/docs/user/index.html
(1) the top section lists pages with summaries of features for different topics: making movies, making images, measurements. There is also a Quick Start guide with some beginner basics, and several tutorials. The tutorials are not necessarily summaries, but different ones try to cover the commonly used features for a given area, e.g. analyzing protein-ligand binding sites.
(2) the middle section is a Tools index. (3) the bottom section is a command index.
ChimeraX is also quickly evolving, so that many tools that were commonly used in Chimera are only very recently added, or have not been added yet, so any cheat sheet would need to be updated frequently.

Hi André,
That sounds like a great idea. If you make a cheat-sheet that is useful to lots of users we can link to it on the ChimeraX documentation page. Let us know if you make it.
