# Rotation steps. Normal steps is used if numeric key is pressed without
# any modifier. Large step is selected by holding [shift] while pressing
# the key, and very large step is selected by using both [alt] and [shift].

# very small step by using both [alt] and [control].

# For a given atom, the chemical bonds are identified by inspecting
# distances to the neighboring atoms. The array with atomic data should
# be scanned in forward and backward direction (with respect to the given atom)
# to find which atoms are bound to a given atom. The following parameters
# define how many neighboring atoms should be checked in each direction.

number of bond candidates: 30 before and 30 after the given atom
