Hi Jon,
Glad to see you are making use of the Mol* viewer. I am also replying
on-list as others will hopefully find my response useful.
For your specific case, I would recommend using the 'selection mode' -
activated by clicking the cursor icon at the top right of the viewport.
This mode changes the left-click action to a 'selection' of regions of
the 3D structure, depending on the picking level defined in the
selection toolbar (e.g. residue, atom, chain etc.). Once this mode is
activated, clicking away from the structure will no longer reset the
view - it will also enable you to create bespoke selections for e.g.
visualisations or measurements.
There is more information on selections in Mol* and much more in the
Mol* Viewer documentation at https://molstar.org/viewer-docs
There is also a recent webinar by one of my PDBe colleagues James
Tolchard, which covers use of the PDBe implementation of the Mol*
viewer. This may also give a good background for those new to using
Mol*. You can access the webinar at https://youtu.be/13qSb1_3VWE
Please feel free to contact me off-list if anyone is interest in
learning more about the Mol* implementation at PDBe and queries about
the use of the viewer.
Kind Regards,
David Armstrong

I have been using Mol* recently which looks like a really nice tool
for basic model viewing.
When you click off an atom (which is the normal action for clearing a
selection in model viewers), it changes the zoom, orientation and
re-slabs it.
Has anyone found a hack to stop it re-centring/zooming/slabbing when
you click off an atom.
