I'd say that Coot needs a less simple-minded algorithm for finding the
picked atom. At the moment it doesn't have an concept of "in front" or
"at the back" - it should have.

Yes, this has been requested - it is an important and powerful feature
- and not easy to implement. It is scheduled for 0.8.

:-) I have a couple of things in mind - also scheduled for 0.8.

Yes, I agree. This will come at the same time as multiple residue ranges.

I'm being won around to the idea - but it is not a priority. If Coot
gains the ability for multiple representations, arbitrary atom
selections and colours should be part of that too.
Any more requests? ;-)
