So if you wanted to press the down arrow key to go to the next compound in View Dock and then press a shortcut key to purge it won't work nicely because the View Dock window has to have the focus to get the down arrow key, and the main window needs the focus to get the shortcut key. Probably a different shortcut key could be assigned to go to the next compound but I didn't see how to do it.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Anyways I used the Chimera Accelerators (menu Tools / General / Keyboard Shortcuts)</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><a href="https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/accelerators/accelerators.html#adding" class="">https://www.cgl.ucsf.edu/chimera/current/docs/ContributedSoftware/accelerators/accelerators.html#adding</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">to add purge (cp), delete (cd), and viable (cv) shortcuts before I found out it won't work well so here. It needed some magic Python code and I attach it here in case you want to pursue it further.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""> Maybe the shortcuts could be done in the newer ChimeraX with ViewDockX -- it allows assigning function keys.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Tom</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></body></html>
