Hi Paul, I am also working with a "non-basic mouse", one reason that I am mostly sticking to coot 0.9. It would be great if coot 1 would allow me to remap the contour levels to the numeric keypad + and -, or some other key pair, so I wouldn't have to use the shift key. Moving through a cryoem map and constantly changing the levels can be pretty onerous.

I am navigating the steep learning curve of the new version and have a few basic questions: 1. I've noticed that I cannot change the map contour level using my external Bluetooth mouse's scroll wheel; it only responds to the trackpad. How can I get Coot v1 to recognize the scroll wheel for contour level adjustments? You are not alone on this either. I have reports of non-basic mice not being able to scroll the map. I have not been able to reproduce the problem and have added some diagnostics. You can use keyboard + and - to change the contour level. About -> Shortcuts... 2. The clipping planes (slab size) in Coot v1 seem much narrower than in v0.9, where it was easy to isolate the local vicinity of a residue. Is there a way to override the default settings in Coot v1 to match the broader slab size of Coot v0.9? Hmm.. Looks good to me. You can change the clipping planes with the 1,2,3,4 keys (in and out for front and back). 3. What is the correct way to select a specific range of residues and perform a real-space refinement (RSR) on only that selection? Range/pair, click atom, click atom -> Refine -> RSR Range Refine But one rarely needs to be specific about the molten zone and can use the "auto" selection methods more rapidly. I will rework the GUI to give you a message if you click RSR Range Refine with having set the atom pair (like Make Link...). 4. How do I display crosshairs? (This was mapped to the 'C' key in v0.9.) Not enable in 1.1.x. I didn't think that they were used, so I didn't reinvent them for 1.1.x. Noted. 5. Coot v0.9 had a feature that labeled the atom you selected and translated to. How can I re-enable this labeling feature in Coot v1? I don't know how I lived without it for so long. It will be in 1.1.20.
