Hi all, when using Jmol I find myself using either 'set picking CENTER' or 'set picking SELECT GROUP', so I would like to switch as fast and easy as possible between the two modes via the mouse. My first idea was to use the 'bind' command to bind centering to "ALT-LEFT" and selecting a group to "LEFT". However there is no "_center" jmol-action for the bind command and the "_select" jmol-action seems not to work when 'set picking CENTER' is active. The bind command also allows to pass a jmol "script" instead of a jmol-action, but inside that passed script the information which atom was picked is not available so you can't center on it or select its group. There is also the pick callback, but this does not give you the modifier key that was pressed when the atom was picked.
In my opinion the addition of a "_centerOnPickedAtom" jmol-action for the bind command would be useful. A more flexible solution would be to add a "_PICKED" variable (containing a selection of the picked atom; maybe also other pickable elements?!) to the things that gets replaced in a script passed to 'bind' command. Based on that variable it is straightforward to implement centering or selecting a group. What do you think? Would anyone else find this useful, too?
