Manual for manipulating the molecules using the mouse in Jmol (also called 'mouse gestures')
Notes:
- In the usual configuration, "main button" is the left button, and "secondary button" is the right button.
- Reportedly, on single-button mice Alt drag may be equivalent to drag with middle button.
| main button | middle button | secondary button | |
| (left) | (middle) | (right) | |
| Open Jmol menu | Ctrl click or click on 'Jmol' logo |
click | |
| Rotate around X,Y | drag | ||
| Move along X,Y (= translate) | Shift double-click and drag | double-click and drag | Ctrl drag |
| works both when clicking on the molecule or away from it | |||
| Reset and centre | Shift double-click* | double-click* | |
| *only works if double-click is done away from the molecule | |||
| Rotate around Z | Shift drag horizontally | drag horizontally | Shift drag horizontally (possibly fails in Mac's) |
| Zoom in / out | Shift drag vertically | drag vertically | |
| or use mouse wheel | |||
| Implemented only on Jmol 10.00.22 prerelease and later: Only work after a slab on command has been issued |
|||
| Slab (slab from front) | Ctrl Shift drag (vertically) * | ||
| Depth (slab from back) | Ctrl Shift double-click and drag (vertically) * | ||
| Shift the slab (change slab and depth maintaining constant thickness) | Alt Ctrl Shift drag (vertically) * | ||
| *if this fails on a Mac, try pressing the mouse button first, then the Ctrl Shift keys, then drag | |||
| Slab can be tested in this page | |||
How to select
- Use the appropriate picking command, e.g.
set picking group
- to toggle selection for an entire amino acid by clicking on one of its atoms,
- Click on an atom will toggle selection status.
- Most useful while
set display selected
- is set to monitor the selection status.
How to make measurements
- Distance (2 atoms):
- double-click on the starting atom
- to fix a distance measurement, double-click on second atom
- Angle (3 atoms):
- double-click on the starting atom
- click on the second atom (central atom in angle)
- to fix an angle measurement, double-click on third atom
- Torsion angle or dihedral (4 atoms)
- double-click on the starting atom
- click on the second atom
- click on the third atom
- to fix a dihedral angle measurement, double-click on fourth atom
- In all cases:
- move pointer over destination atom in order to see measurement results without leaving a permanent measurement
- move outside the window in order to cancel the measurement
- make the same measurement again in order to delete the measurement
