14864	RFE: dedicated Z-translation mouse mode	Elaine Meng	Tom Goddard	"It is too difficult for some of us to use multiple modifier keys especially in the context of a touchpad and pressing-order stipulations.  Would be great to have a separate Z-translation mouse mode.  I don't think you would have to have this for all current XY-translation options (all, selected, picked).  Maybe only for selected model(s).  I'm thinking that is better than picked model because you might want to move several models at once but not all of them.

I envision assigning it to middle or right mouse.  Default is currently to have both middle and right buttons assigned to scene translation (XY). One of those could be used for selected model Z-translation instead (not by default, but by those who wish to).  If there were a right-mouse icon for selected-model Z-translation, it would be relatively easy just by clicking icons to toggle back and forth between that assignment and some other assignment. For some of us, this is easier than multikey presses that need to occur in a certain order.

Feel free to change any settings on this ticket if I guessed them incorrectly."	enhancement	assigned	moderate		UI				olibclarke@…				all	ChimeraX
