Hi Tom, a couple of suggestions that occured to me while using Chimera to prepare some figures:

...

2: Less important but would be convenient - Zoom to box. I am imagining using a modifer key and click dragging to draw a box, and Chimera scaling and translating to fit - this would be great when one is taking an overall view of a molecule for a figure, and then taking multiple zoomed in views of the same orientation for use as insets, which is quite a common practice. Also - kind of related - currently savepos records changes in zoom level, but Undo Move does not - I think probably for the sake of consistency it ought to.

...

Cheers,
Oli.
