Agenda

Command line alias handling (Greg) Chimera2 atom spec (Conrad)

Action Items

• Greg will look more closely at how to deal with aliases that substitute for arbitrary text within a line

Results

• Command line alias handling: 2 forms
  • aliases that substitute arbitrary text within a line
    • Not well defined -- Greg will talk about this later
  • aliases that substitute for a command
    • Much easier to handle, the command line parser will just deal with it
• Discussion about command line completion
  • Might be limited to command name
  • Might hook into help system in some way and not try to deal with every completion case. For example, complete commands, for everything else, just bring up the help text.
• Atom spec proposal
  • # is the start of the forest
  • . is the hierarchy separator
  • / precedes chains
  • : still precedes residues
  • @ precedes atoms
  • Example: #1.2.3/B:12@CA, could also be written #1.2.3.B.12.CA
