[Chimera-users] Changes after 1.3

[Thomas Goddard]

Hi Gabor,

   If we eliminated keyboard shortcuts there would be new commands or 
buttons that do the things that only shortcuts can currently do.  But I 
more and more think we need to keep the shortcuts because I frequently 
give demonstrations and use them very heavily.  It doesn't seem right to 
give demonstrations using shortcuts that are not available to users.

   You can still extract a subregion of a volume by outlining it with a 
box using the volume dialog subregion panel, or by using the "vop" 
command resample option.  The subregion panel has improved in Chimera 
1.3 and 1.4 so it allows rotating the subregion box to an arbitrary 
orientation.
