cycle_valence cycles the valence on the currently selected bond.
USAGE
cycle_valence [ h_fill ]
PYMOL API
cmd.cycle_valence(int h_fill)
EXAMPLES
cycle_valence cycle_valence 0
NOTES
If the h_fill flag is true, hydrogens will be added or removed to satisfy valence requirements.
This function is usually connected to the DELETE key or "CTRL-W". (Try CTRL-W first.)
