The console is a way to pass any command to Jmol. As a casual user of Jmol, you only need to know a handful of commands not available through the menu. If you become a frequent user of Jmol, you might stop using the menu and type commands instead once you are familiar with them. | The console is a way to pass any command to Jmol. As a casual user of Jmol, you only need to know a handful of commands not available through the menu.

*Finding a residue: If you want to find a specific residue in a structure and you know the residue number, say residue 72, type "center 72" in the console. You can also select it by typing "select 72", and then change how it is represented in the 3D figure by using the menu. | *Finding a residue: If you want to find a specific residue in a structure and you know the residue number, say residue 72, type "center 72" in the console.

*Selecting multiple parts of the molecule: When using the menu to select, each new selection command cancels the old one. Using the console, you can type something like "selected selected and 33" to add residue 33 to your selection. You can also select multiple parts of the structure in a single command like "select (42, 67, 82) and side chain and _C", which would select all carbon atoms in the side chain of residues 42, 67 and 82. You can learn common selection command in this [http://cbm.msoe.edu/includes/modules/jmolTutorial/jmolSelect.html tutorial]. The complete set of selection commands is explained in the Jmol manual. | *Selecting multiple parts of the molecule: When using the menu to select, each new selection command cancels the old one.

*Showing hydrogen bond: Select the entire structure or parts you are interested in (e.g. "select backbone and helix"), then type "hbonds calculate" in the console. This will calculate possible hydrogen bonds and display them. | *Showing hydrogen bond: Select the entire structure or parts you are interested in (e.g. "select backbone and helix"), then type "hbonds calculate" in the console.

*Increasing the size of labels shown when hovering: When giving a presentation and projecting a page, the "hover labels" are sometimes too small and too complicated to be appreciated by the viewers. A command like | |||
<nowiki>hover "%n%R %a"; font hover 30</nowiki> | |||
will help. | |||
