Hi Pranav, I regularly use the "graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_representation(i)" and related "graphics_to..." commands for the scripting of representation switching. Depending on how much scripting you want to do you could either create a toolbutton with something like;
graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_representation(active_redidue[0]) Alternatively if you want to get a bit more fancy you could define a toggle function in your coot-preferences. Something like the dirty script below will bind shift+c to toggle ca representation on whatever model you interacted with last; CA_toggle = 0 def toggle_ca_rep(): CA_toggle = (CA_toggle+1)%2 if CA == 1: graphics_to_ca_plus_ligands_representation(active_residue()[0]) elif CA == 0: graphics_to_bonds_representation(active_residue()[0]) #graphics add_key_binding("Toggle_CA", "C", lambda: CA_toggle=toggle_ca_rep(CA_toggle)) Best, Victor On Mon, 14 Mar 2022 at 17:19, Pranav Shah <p.shah....@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Paul, > > I frequently find myself switching between CA trace and the Bonds > (colored by chain) modes.
