Editing sequences

[bruque]

Great app, thanks!
Why can't we push aside a sequence by just pushing the first amino-acid or nucleotide from the sequence? When sequences are long, this would be easier for local alignments. And, I don't see how to paste a short sequence from clipboard into a displayed sequence (helpful when adding new exons into a sequence, for example)

Thank for your support!
If you double click on the first amino-acid everything that is connected gets selected and you can push it (if there is some gaps to push it into)
You can work around your pasting issue by pasting the short sequence into the alignment (as a new sequence), then drag and align it to where you want it in the second sequence, select both sequences and choose "merge sequences"

Thank you so much, Anders.

Is there any chance to add an option to insert gaps/ be able to move the sequences outside of the boundaries of the current alignment? The rest of the editing works wonderfully, but without that one is unable to edit the whole alignment outside of its own boundaries. Sometimes you do not have the gaps to move to.

[andersla]

You can manually add gaps at end by selecting the column at last position and then press space to insert gaps at end of alignment. (this will add a gap column at last but one position), then you have to manually move back the residues at the very last position

[andersla]

You can manually add gaps at beginning by selecting first column and press: shift + space

Thank you very much for the swift response! I'd just want to suggest that an easier way of adding multiple gaps would be nice.
