The Jmol mouse gestures are designed to function with single-button mice on the Mac. All references to 'left' get translated to 'only'

rotate X and Y axes	left drag
zoom + rotate Z axis	shift left drag OR middle button drag
rotate Z axis only	shift right drag
translate X and Y axes	shift double left drag OR double middle drag
reset to center	shift double left click OR double middle click
wheel - zoom	a wheel is also a middle button if clicked/dragged
popup menu	right click OR ctrl left click

To measure distances and angles

Double click, optionally single click 0, 1, or 2 times, Double click

After your first double-click the cursor will change and then you can'hover' over several different atoms to get different distances.

Move outside the applet to cancel the measurement.

For a distance measurment:

double click to drop an anchor
double click on the destination

For an angle measurement:

double click to drop an anchor
single click on an intermediate point
double click on the final point

For a torsion measurement:

double click to drop anchor
single click
single click
double click
