Right click (or click and hold down) on a bond or atom for a useful pop-up menu
Right click (or click and hold down) on a bond to show or hide bonds
Right click (or click and hold down) on an atom to change its properties
Right click (or click and hold down) on an atom to select all similar elements
Right click (or click and hold down) on an atom or selection to add structures
Structure Tool: Double click on atom to replace it with a structure
Structure Tool: Click in empty space and connect the structure to an atom
Structure Tool: The Spacebar sets the last used Structure too
Your own structures: save the .adf file in the $SCM_STRUCTURES folder
