Ctrl is the same There are differences in what they are named on the keyboard. I think that 'alt' on a PC keyboard is the same as 'option' on a Mac, but I may be mistaken. Apple had several bugs in their mouse handling under Java. The bugs were related to shift keys in combination with a multi-button mouse. I filed bug reports with them about 9 months ago, along with two sample programs demonstrating the problems. Approximately 6 months ago someone from Apple contacted me. We exchanged a few emails. I believe that they fixed the problems, but have not confirmed. > I started from the Chime table of mouse commands, so I may have gone too > far.

To make measurements ... - Double click to drop an anchor - single click to drop an intermediate point (for angles and torsion angles) - move from one atom to another in order to see measurement results without leaving a permanent measurement - double click to terminate - move outside the window in order to cancel the measurement Make the same measurement again in order to delete the measurement > It will be good if other experienced users make links > to the Wiki page, so any novice user gets to it quickly.

Yes, I know that Eric is very interested in having slab functionality available through the mouse.
