Hi, Is it possible to adjust the step size when using alt + scrollwheel to change the contour level? I'd like to make it coarser for RSI reasons. Thanks, -da

Hi Daniel, Ok, I just added the ability to adjust contour level mouse mode sensitivity, it will be in tonight's ChimeraX builds. For example, mouse setting contour speed 2 will make contour level adjustment twice as sensitive. To save this setting use menu Favorites / Settings (or on Mac, ChimeraX / Preferences), the Startup tab, and put the above command under "Execute these commands at startup", and press the Save button. Currently only contour level and rotate and translate mouse modes support the speed setting. Tom

Great, thanks for this! One changes the threshold a lot when building with ISOLDE. Best, -da On Mon, Apr 27, 2020 at 10:32 AM Tom Goddard <goddard@sonic.net> wrote:

Ah! *That* contour mode is my responsibility. Will get on it.

OK, this is done. Next release will have a "clipper set contourSensitivity {value}" where value is a fraction of a standard deviation to change per tick of the scroll wheel. Hoping to get new builds released in a couple of weeks - let me know if you want an earlier hot-fix. On 2020-05-04 06:08, Tristan Croll wrote:

Hi Tristan, You can easily make the Clipper contour level mouse mode work with the "mouse setting speed 3" command. Any registered MouseMode that has a "speed" attribute (or property) will have its speed set by that command. Tom

Thanks! That reminds me... I do have to go through and make sure all my MouseModes are actually registered properly. On 2020-05-04 17:41, Tom Goddard wrote:
