Re: [PyMOL] Renaming sele to residue name

[Thomas H. <tho...@sc...>]

Hi I-Ji,

the "sele" name is hard coded and cannot be changed. But you could write a wizard which automatically renames the selection immediately. Writing wizards is not trivial and require python scripting skills (but this would be a very simple wizard).

Cheers,

Is there a way in which  I can make the default 'sele' selection name become protein name-chain-residue name-residue number when I click on a residue? You know when you label a residue, it labels it to a format of resn-resi (e.g. TYR-37..). I want it to be in like that sort of format.
