Act on open model from command line

[matt.jaremko@…]

Hello,

Is there any way to act only on the open model on the command line without directly specifying the model #? I know that most of the functions on the upper toolbar work this way, but I’d like to also do that sometimes via the command line.

Thank you,
Matt

Hi Matt,

For most commands, simply omitting the atom/model specifier will have the command work on all applicable models (e.g. "color red"). For the few that always require a specifier, the specifier #* is a synonym for all models.
FYI, a usage question like this is more appropriate for the chimerax-users mailing list than as a bug report, and will likely be answered faster if you send it to that list.
