The missing info is that you need
* set picking DRAGSELECTED set allowMoveAtoms TRUE*
in order to move subsets of atoms in a molecule
along with
* set allowRotateSelected TRUE*
if you want to also rotate them with alt-left
I've just spent some time looking closely at the difference between
*set dragSelected*
and
*set picking dragSelected*
This is not trivial to describe. The two definitely do different things.
Basically, set dragSelected adds new functionality to Jmol with alt-drag
and alt-shift drag, and set picking dragSelected replaces
the standard mouse drag with a move action and also adds rotate and z-shift
options
// see footnotes below for ^, #, *, and $
//
// settings:^ set picking dragSelected set dragSelected
//
// move:# drag alt-shift-drag
// rotate:#* alt-drag alt-drag
// z-shift:# shift-drag (n/a)
//
// double-click:$ (starts measurement) (sets selected if set
picking SELECT)
//
// # all actions involve whole molecules unless set allowMoveAtoms
TRUE
// ^ set picking dragSelected overrules set dragSelected
// * rotate requires set allowRotateSelected TRUE
// $ set dragSelected allows setting of a new molecule with
double-click when set picking SELECT
// $ set picking dragSelected allows measurements with double-click, as
usual
