During my trip to Paris Benoit and I discussed our ideas for adding some nice eye candy to Avogadro that would give better visual cues as to what exactly the tool was doing. In the case of the navigation tool each mouse button triggers a movement around the atom in a different sense, i.e. the left mouse initiates rotation, the middle initiates zooming/tilting and the right initiates translation. We had considered how best to convey this to the user without them needing to read the manual as most of us avoid doing that!
