One very helpful feature that Foldit used to have is now missing. It used to be that one could Tab on segment 3 of the protein to bring up the Segment Information window for segment 3. Then if one clicked the left or right arrow key, Foldit would instead show the Segment Information window for segment 2 or segment 4, respectively. If one kept pressing the left or right arrow key, one could quickly scan through all the Segment Information windows for the protein. It would be nice if this feature were restored within Foldit. It would also be nice if when one clicked the left arrow on segment 1, it would show the Segment Information window for the largest segment # in the protein. Similarly, if one clicked the right arrow on the largest segment #, it would show the Segment Information window for segment 1 instead.
The other day, using control + left arrow would lower the segment #
while control + right arrow would raise the segment #.
It would still be good if control + left arrow on segment 1 would jump to segment N (the largest segment #).
It would also be good if control + right arrow on segment N (the largest segment #) would jump to segment 1.
It would also be good if in complexes containing M monomers (each with N segments)
with the monomers numbered from 1 to M, the following would occur:
(A) control + right arrow on segment N of monomer 1 would jump to segment 1 of monomer 2,
(B) control + right arrow on segment N of monomer j would jump to segment 1 of monomer j+1,
(C) control + right arrow on segment N of monomer M would jump to segment 1 of monomer 1,
(D) control + left arrow on segment 1 of monomer 2 would jump to segment N of monomer 1,
(E) control + left arrow on segment 1 of monomer j would jump to segment N of monomer j-1, and
(F) control + left arrow on segment 1 of monomer 1 would jump to segment N of monomer M.
Thank you for bringing this up at the recent Foldit Office Hours, jeff101.
I'm glad that the basic functionality still works using the 'Ctrl' button, and I will bring up your latest suggestions to the dev team!
FYI: Your last suggestion is now in the latest release:
https://fold.it/releases/20?update_group=main
- When using arrow keys to cycle through Segment Information, reaching the end residue of the protein cycles around to the residue at the other end
