8961	ViewDockX suggestions	iamkaant@…	Eric Pettersen	"Thank you for your advice, thin cylinder bonds are a good substitution for the wireframe view! However, some atoms are displayed as balls; changing the atom radius doesn’t fix this. Switching to the «Spheres» atom style helps, though.

I have used ViewDockX recently, and here are my thoughts:
All columns from a docking file are displayed by default. I would prefer only molecule name and maybe rating to be displayed initially
Hiding unnecessary columns is quite cumbersome, as the table is updated after each selection/deselection of a tick box. It would be great to be able to select everything one wants first and then update the view after the menu is closed.
It would be nice if the table header was frozen to be visible when you scroll the list down.
My main complaint is the absence of «fixed» buttons to mark compounds. In Chimera’s ViewDock there are three radio buttons at the bottom of the window. In ChimeraX, you must locate the correct number of stars for a specific compound every time you mark it. A kind of solution is: if you don’t scroll the list of compounds, the last one is always at the bottom. However, it gets overlayed by a horizontal scrollbar sometimes.
Additionally, I would love to have 2-3 tiers (Viable/Deleted/Purged) in addition to the stars. My most common action is «mark this compound bad», so this action should be as easy as possible. I have to inspect up to 30K poses routinely, so every delay is multiplied and eats substantial time in the end.
A great improvement would be to have global keyboard shortcuts for «previous/next compound» and «mark compd good/bad». Ideally, these shortcuts should always be active once ViewDockX is active, disregard the part of the ChimeraX window which is in focus. I.e., I should be able to mark a compound «Deleted» even when I’m rotating its 3D view.
