Displacement along a normal mode

General Discussion Suggestions

Perhaps there is already a way to do this and I’ve just missed it (using 1.99.0), but it would be great if there was a way to distort a molecule along a normal mode. The prototypical example would be in trying to find a true minimum / eliminating imaginary frequencies when carrying out a geometry optimisation.

I’d like to be able to load the vibrational modes (like I can now), select one, then distort the structure according to the mode of interest. A slider to control the magnitude of the distortion would also be useful.

Should be fairly easy. Several people have also asked about saving the trajectory along the vibration (e.g., for animation in other tools).
