The Feature List

The feature list is bit at the bottom of the main window (see the section called A breakdown of the main Artemis edit window). The feature list can be toggled on and off from the display menu (see the section called Show Feature List. The list contains information about each feature in each active entry (see the section called The Active Entries in Chapter 2), one per line.

The lines show this information about the feature: the colour (see the section called Feature Colours in Chapter 2), the key, start base, end base and the note field (if any). If the correlation scores option is on then the scores will be shown just before the note in each CDS line.

Changing the Selection

To select a feature from the list just click on it with the first mouse button. This will unselect anything that is currently selected. To add a feature to the selection rather than replacing the current selection, hold the shift key while clicking. A single feature can be removed from the selection in the same way, because shift-clicking acts as a toggle.

See the section called The Selection in Chapter 2 for more about the selection.

The Pop-up Menu

The popup menu is activated by pressing the third mouse button (see the section called Notes on Using The Mouse) anywhere on the feature list. The menu contains shortcuts to some of the main window menus and a toggle option to enable the display of correlation scores.

Scrolling The List

The scrollbar on the right of the list controls which part of the list of active features is visible. The list will also move if the user double clicks on a feature in overview or DNA view areas, in which case the list will scroll to that feature.
