Re: [PyMOL] atom picking on windows

[Jacob C. <jc...@gl...>]

Paul,

I've had the same problem on both Win98 and Win2k using PyMOL 
0.74-0.80, but with a Logitech wheel mouse. The easiest solution that 
I've found is to switch the mouse layout to 2-button, rather than 
3-button, and just use Shift-click (if I remember correctly) to pick 
atoms.
If you're very used to the wheel-click to pick, you could also remap 
the wheel button to Shift-Click, and from there switching to 
2-button layout will allow you to click the scroll wheel to pick 
atoms. You won't get the benefits of the full 3-button layout, but 
it'll save you having to hold a key down every time you want to pick 
an atom.
