Hi all, two suggestions for your consideration that I think might be useful in 
a future version of Coot:

1. It would be great to have a representation mode in between all atoms and 
C-alphas. Specifically, I would love to have a "backbone" mode, where only the 
protein backbone (to CB) or ribose-phosphate backbone of nucleic acids would be 
visible. This would help when fixing up backbone geometry in large, low 
resolution structures by removing the visual clutter of the sidechains/bases, 
while still being able to recognize flipped peptides or mispaired beta strands.

2. Kind of in the same vein, I wonder whether in the "traffic lights" dialogue 
that pops up after real space refinement, it might be worth altering the 
"Ramachandran" section such that rather than having a raw score, it also lists 
the ramachandran outliers in the refined selection, so one can easily pick them 
out and fix them up on the fly.

Best,
Oliver.
