Sequences, alignments, trees, structures, features and alignment annotation may also be exchanged with the local filesystem.
Multiple visualizations of an alignment may be worked on simultaneously, and the user interface provides a comprehensive set of controls for colouring and layout.

basic operation of Jalview and should be sufficient for those who want to
launch Jalview (Section \ref{startingjv}), open an alignment (Section
\ref{loadingseqs}), perform basic editing (Section
\ref{selectingandediting}), colouring (Section \ref{colours}), and produce
publication and presentation quality graphical output (Section \ref{layoutandoutput}).

\section{Navigation}
\label{jvnavigation}
The major features of the Jalview Desktop are illustrated in Figure \ref{anatomy}. The alignment window is the primary window for editing and visualization, and can contain several independent views of the alignment being worked with. The other windows (Trees, Structures, PCA plots, etc) are linked to a specific alignment view. Each area of the alignment window has a separate context menu accessed by clicking the right mouse button.
Jalview has two navigation and editing modes: {\bf normal mode}, where
editing and navigation is performed using the mouse, and {\bf cursor mode}
where editing and navigation are performed using the keyboard. The {\bf F2 key}
- is used to switch between these two modes. With a Mac as the F2 is
- often assigned to screen brightness, one may often need to type {\bf function
- [Fn] key with F2 key}
- [Fn]-F2.
+ is used to switch between these two modes.
+
+ {\em Note:} On MacBooks and other laptops with compact keyboards, you may need
+ to press the {\bf function key [Fn]} when pressing any of the numbered function
+ keys. So to toggle between keyboard and normal mode, press [Fn]-[F2].

+criteria shown in the dropdown menu (e.g. 'Best Quality', which is picked by
+default). However, you are free to select your own.
+
+The structure(s) to be displayed will be downloaded or loaded from
the local file system, and shown as a ribbon diagram coloured according to the
associated sequence in the current alignment view (Figure \ref{structure}

window. The structure can be zoomed using the mouse scroll wheel or by
