Search in Command History
Dear ChimeraX team, Not sure if there is one already, would be great to have a search box in the "Command History" window.

Hi Roden, There isn't a search capability and it might be nice to add one. There is a kind of related capability that you might not be aware of that could be helpful. You probably know that if you hit up-arrow in the command line it cycles backwards through the command history. What you might not know is that if you type a few characters in the command line and then hit shift-uparrow, it cycles backwards only through commands that start with those characters. So if you type "open", then shift-uparrow will goes backwards through just your open commands. You might also want to check out the clix bundle <https://cxtoolshed.rbvi.ucsf.edu/apps/chimeraxclix>, which offers an alternative command-line implementation which does have searching the command history, along with a bunch of other neat features. --Eric Eric Pettersen UCSF Computer Graphics Lab

Wow! *Shift*-uparrow is amazing! Clix also looks cool! I do not see a high need for a search box now. Many thanks, Roden On Fri, May 2, 2025 at 7:30 PM Eric Pettersen <pett@cgl.ucsf.edu> wrote:
