Hi Ben -

Try this:

editor.attach_fragment("pk1", "methane", 1, 0)

Here's how I tracked this down, not having known about this function before 
your email.  cmd._alt() and likewise cmd._ctrl() are functions (you can see for 
yourself in the source code in pymol/modules/pymol/cmd.py), and they are 
basically wrappers (via internal.py and back through cmd.py again) for 
functions in keyboard.py called keyboard.get_alt() and keyboard.get_ctrl(), 
which each return a dictionary list of commands to run for each shortcut key.  
For example:

def get_alt(self_cmd=cmd):
    return {
        '1' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","formamide",5,0), {}],
        '2' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","formamide",4,0), {}],
        '3' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","sulfone",3,1), {}],
        '4' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","cyclobutane",4,0), {}],
        '5' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","cyclopentane",5,0), {}],
        '6' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","cyclohexane",7,0), {}],
        '7' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","cycloheptane",8,0), {}],
        '8' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","cyclopentadiene",5,0), {}],
        '9' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","benzene",6,0), {}],
        '0' : [ editor.attach_fragment  , ("pk1","formaldehyde",2,0), {}],
        'a' : [ editor.attach_amino_acid, ("pk1","ala"), {}],
        'b' : [ editor.attach_amino_acid, ("pk1","ace"), {}],
        'c' : [ editor.attach_amino_acid, ("pk1","cys"), {}],
        'd' : [ editor.attach_amino_acid, ("pk1","asp"), {}],
        'e' : [ editor.attach_amino_acid, ("pk1","glu"), {}],
        'f' : [ editor.attach_amino_acid, ("pk1","phe"), {}],
...etc
        }

So to add a methyl group, just model it after the cyclobutane example, and just 
run the editor.attach_fragment command (which you can explore in 
pymol/modules/pymol/editor.py) for methane.  A little more info from the 
editor.attach_fragment() docstring:

def attach_fragment(selection,fragment,hydrogen,anchor,_self=cmd):
    '''
ARGUMENTS

    selection = str: must be "pk1"

    fragment = str: fragment name to load from fragment library

    hydrogen = int: hydrogen atom ID in fragment to fuse

    anchor = int: none-hydrogen atom ID in fragment to fuse
    '''

You can also define custom 
fragments<http://www.pymolwiki.org/index.php?title=Modeling_and_Editing_Structures#Adding_and_using_your_own_fragments>.

Also, in case you didn't know about it, an easier way to create your peptide 
might be the `fab` function (so long as you don't need to continue editing it 
afterward):

fab GTHYRD, my_peptide

Hope that helps!

Cheers,
Jared

​i All,

I was wondering if someone could point me to the correct notation for something.

When making a peptide from the command line one could type:

for aa in "GTHYRD":cmd._alt(string.lower(aa))

Let's say that I want to add a methane. The key code is CTRL+SHIFT+M

I was wondering how to alter the "cmd.​
_
​alt" to be CTRL-SHIFT.

I've tried ​
​"cmd._ctrl+_shift"
"cmd._ctrl and _shift"
"cmd.(_ctrl and _shift)"​
"cmd._ctrl._shift"

Nothing has worked. I searched the list serve but came up empty on how to 
combine two keys to the "cmd'.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Ben
