Re: [Jmol-users] good idea?

Fri, 06 Feb 2009 11:32:02 -0800

Hi all,

Making it disabled by default seems to defeat the purpose to me. The console window is only 2 clicks away after all. I would vote for some sort of visual cue. Maybe when the user starts typing, a small text box pops up with a caption along the lines of "Script: (Esc to cancel)". It would give the user a chance to spot a typo and could lead to more people discovering this awesome feature by accident. More importantly, those who don't use it will see how to dismiss it immediately.

I'm trying out a new idea with the latest incarnation of Jmol, at
http://chemapps.stolaf.edu/jmol/docs/examples-11/new.htm

click on the applet and then carefully type:

background white [enter]

or

set showKeyStrokes

then type into the applet

What do you think?
    
I like it and would use it! However, I can foresee problems with  
people accidentally typing things in, especially on web pages.
  
Any reason this should not be the default behavior of Jmol?
    
I would make it a toggled item in the pop-up menu with the default  
being to ignore text typed into the application.  I will immediately  
set the application copy I use to accept typed text.  Better have the  
setting saved.
