==Alter key bindings==
It's not GUI, but you could simply bind a function key such as F1 to a command:
<source lang="python">
cmd.set_key('F1',lambda :cmd.show('sticks'))
</source>

==Coloring Surface with Electrostatic Potential==
You have to load the potential data by Delphi or some other program like AMBER version 9:
<source lang="python">
load sample.pdb, molecule
load sample.delphi, potential
show surface, molecule
ramp_new level, potential, [-7,0,7]
set surface_color, level, molecule
</source>

==Van der Waals radii==
van der Waals Radii are hard coded in Pymol.
They may be obtained for given atoms from:
<source lang="python">
iterate (name C), print vdw
</source>
Default values are:
*C : 1.70
*O : 1.52
*N : 1.55
*H : 1.20
*P : 1.80

and may be changed with the command [[alter]]

==Tutorial for Beginners==
I'm in the process of writing a PyMol tutorial for first time users. Intended for undergraduate biology/biochemistry students with no previous visualization experience, it will focus on common operations and practical uses. For now, I'm calling it [[Practical Pymol for Beginners]]. I'm not sure where to categorize it.
