The Alternate key doesn't always work

[Sandra Porter]

Browser: Firefox

1. I annotated two aligned structures so that each pair of aligned chains had the same color.
2. I deleted all the defined sets except for the two structures (7A94 and 7KRQ).
3. I clicked one structure in Defined sets and clicked View Selected in order to see it.
4. I clicked the A key to alternate between structures but nothing happened.
5. I had to clear the selection three times to get the alternate key to work.

The alternation only works for your selection. If your selection has just one structure, it doesn't alternate. In your case, you need to click the "All Atoms/Selection" toggle near the "Help" menu to select all structures, then do the alternation.
