This option is a great improvement to the utility of ChimeraX. But one problem with this implementation is that panning using the middle-mouse button no longer works. It should be possible to ""click-and-hold"" differently from a plain ""click"" and thereby retain the panning functionality. If you make that change, I think this should be the default behavior of the application, as middle-click currently does nothing. 

Another option use ""double left-click"" for this, as this is not currently used in the GUI and double-click works better on a track-pad. Actually, it would be nice to have the ability to set the action for double-clicking in a menu similar to the current ""right mouse"" menu and to set the default option in a preference file.

Daniel
