Jacob thanks for your help .. I hadn't noticed the 2 button mode. But the shift-left-mouse now behaves the same as the ctrl-middle-mouse did before, namely selecting an atom other than the one the mouse is over.
Any more ideas? thanks again, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Jacob Corn [mailto:jc...@gladstone.ucsf.edu] Sent: 11 April 2002 16:55 To: PyMOL-users@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [PyMOL] atom picking on windows Paul, I've had the same problem on both Win98 and Win2k using PyMOL 0.74-0.80, but with a Logitech wheel mouse. The easiest solution that I've found is to switch the mouse layout to 2-button, rather than 3-button, and just use Shift-click (if I remember correctly) to pick atoms. If you're very used to the wheel-click to pick, you could also remap the wheel button to Shift-Click, and from there switching to 2-button layout will allow you to click the scroll wheel to pick atoms. You won't get the benefits of the full 3-button layout, but it'll save you having to hold a key down every time you want to pick an atom.
