Hello Paul, Coot users!

In the wonderful pantheon of Coot tools, is there a way to leap between
equivalent points in symmetry mates with a nice single key shortcut, for
instance? Or could there be? I seem to be getting several cases with 8
copies/asu and while initially one may build a single version and then
clone it into all 8 positions, at some point one gets down to wanting to
check the similarities/differences of all copies, and it would be handy if
I've just visiting chain A, Leu30, for instance, to be able to rapidly go
to chain B, Leu30 and so on (yes, more rapidly than entering chain letters
in the Go To Atom dialogue...). Similar case for ligands...the ligand
button short cut is pretty good, but if I navigate off the ligand to look
at surroundings, the next click of the heteroatom /ligand center button
will likely have reset to the top of the list, and with cofactors in all
copies that can be 16 clicks until I get back to through the cycle.

In related aspects, in the Go To Atom dialog, I often have a single chain
per ligand residue, but find I have to expand the sub menu to show the
single residue to click on that to center. Anyway that the chain listing
itself could be sensitive to clicks for centering? Obviously would be
different behavior for protein chain, but perhaps the center of mass, or
more simply centering on whatever is the first residue of the chain would
be a consistent and desired behavior. Indeed, the residue number in the Go
To dialogue could default to that first chain first residue rather than
"-9999"? Anyway, I'm heading off into more trivial things, but the main
question was whether I've missed or could request a
sym-mate-equivalent-jump function?

Thank you!!
Seth
