Whats new
If you can read this then you'll already have seen some of the recent changes
made to Jalview.
-
+ Jalview takes advantage of some of the more recent user interface developments
+ in the Java programming language. For instance Jalview is now a multi windowed
+ application, this keeps all your Jalview windows neatly together in one main
+ application window.
+If you were familiar with the original Jalview, here is a list of important
+ features you should know about the current development:
+
+ - Editing sequences is no longer the default when mouse clicking the alignment.
+ Instead, mouse clicking on the alignment will create a "selection region"
+ which may be full sequences or groups of residues.
+ - To edit a sequence, the "Shift" key must be held down
+ - To edit groups, either the "Alt" key or the "Control"
+ key must be held down.
+ - Colours maybe applied to the background, ie the whole alignment, or to selected
+ regions. If the tickbox "Apply colour to all groups" is ticked (this
+ is the defualt), then the colour will be applied to all groups.
+ - Use the right mouse button (apple and click on the mac) to define a selected
+ region on the alignment as a new group.
+ - Conservation is automatically updated whenever the alignment is edited
+ - There is no "quick draw" option
+ - Edits can be undone! (and redone)
