Did you know... Config Mouse Config_mouse allows one to change the context the mouse; say for example if it has two button instead of three (so the user doesn't have to set the 2-Button Viewing Mode). USAGE If you have a 2-Button mouse and don't want to have to set it every time, add the following line to your pymolrc file. config_mouse two_button # put the mouse in the cool-new movie-enabling mode config_mouse three_button_motions Three-Button Motions Mode The Three_Button_Motions mouse configuration mode has been added to PyMOL. To use it, first prepare the mouse mode: # put the mouse in the cool-new movie-enabling mode config_mouse three_button_motions and then click on the mouse-panel (lower right hand side of PyMOL window) until you see a boxed "M" appear in the openGL menu window above. (It should appear after the "C" for Color). See Also Three_Button_Motions
