davidmedina Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I know that Accordance 11 is just out of the gate and we still exploring the new features... Great upgrade. Definitively brilliant... But I already have a feature suggestion/request. Thinking in the new Info Pane (My favorite feature of Acc 11) could this idea/concept be extended to the dictionaries and lexicons? Not in the same panel, but maybe when we triple click in a word to amplify and the pane shows up, maybe it can show a link to other dictionaries and lexicon with information about the word we triple clicked on. Then when we hove over it can show a partial info in the Instant Display. When we click on the link the tool open to the right place. That would be a great time saver and it will truly amplify the word for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 David, if you right click -> Research -> Dictionaries, it will give you something very similar to what you are already asking for. But, its still a good idea nonetheless. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gedalya Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Joel, I'm on windows 7 accordance 11 I don't see "dictionaries" as a choice so I guess I have to make a group like this since this category doesn't automatically appear in my library listings?? Is that correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Brown Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Dictionaries will appear automatically if you have Accordance reorganize your library, either through the Setup Assistant, or in Preferences -> Appearance. However, yes, you can make any top level tool category or My Group called 'Dictionaries' (or whatever you want!) and this will work the same.

rokas Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Joel, is it possible with some keyboard shortcut "to do research" on Greek/Hebrew word or at least strong number from English tagged text, ie in the English Bible right click on desired word -> research -> lexicons and get results not on that English word, but on Hebrew/Greek word behind it?

Joel Brown Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Rokas, if you hold the Option/Alt key down while doing the Research, it will use the original language word behind it. Neat, no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rokas Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Rokas, if you hold the Option/Alt key down while doing the Research, it will use the original language word behind it. Neat, no? Joel, wow, this is truly neat, I love it, no need to open an additional parallel pane and locate words there! Still, I have to ask - I am on Windows 7 (Acc 11.0.1), and I have to: 1. Second click on a word 2. Hover over Research, then hover over desired category 3. Left-click on it, but not release 4. Press down Alt key 5. Release left-click of my mouse If I press down Alt anywhere before Steps 1-3, context menu simply doesn't open (ok, it does, for a millisecond, and then closes - just a flash) - is it supposed to be like this? EDIT: Is there maybe a way unknown to me to do the same when merely "looking up" a word and go directly to the Greek/Hebrew word instead of a Strong's number? Or does this work only in Research where doing research on key numbers doesn't make much sense? Edited November 11, 2014 by rokas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helen Brown Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 In the Preferences you can now (v11) set which lexicon opens with a triple-click on an original word and a key-number word. This topic originally requested the ability to search more or all lexicons, as I understand it. You can, of course, set up and save a zone or workspace with the tools you want linked with the LINK command to your main lexicons, so they all update when you amplify.

Rokas, After you open the pulldown menu and you are ready to select the tools to use for the Research, let say Dictionary, just alt/option click on it.

rokas Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 David, at least for me in Windows 7, pressing Alt key down closes all context/pulldown menus (unless, as I've described, while holding mouse-click pressed down). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
