How do you change the dictionary that it used when the cursor hovers over a word and displays in instant details?

I watched podcast 116 and saw that Dr. J. changed what dictionary was used to look up words that the cursor hovered over.

 

I replayed that section a couple of times but am not quick enough to see how it is done.

 

I did a forum search but discovered nothing.

 

How does one do that?

 

Thanks, Dave.

If you mean look up in another dictionary after you already used one, you simply select another dictionary in the upper left pop-up menu.

 

To change which dictionary appears by default, in version 11 you set the defaults in Preferences: Amplify. You can have separate defaults for original languages and for the key number texts.

Hi Helen,

 

Thanks for the response.

 

Those are not the things that I was referring to.

 

In the podcast he makes the Mounce dictionary lookup display in the instant message window merely by hovering of the word. Well at least that is what I thought that I saw. I will look again. I recall that it was around 8 minutes into the podacast.

I looked again he was hovering with the cmd (ctrl in windows) key down.

 

I missed that last night.

 

Thanks again, Dave.

Hi Dave,

 

Would you like it as a feature request? I requested it almost two years ago at http://www.accordancebible.com/forums/topic/11284-ability-to-change-default-lexicon-in-instant-details-box-and-simply-hover-the-mouse-over-a-word-to-view-it/?hl=%2Bability+%2Bto+%2Bhover , and today I see someone reading your post that I missed, so there may be renewed interest in it.

 

Regards,

 

Michel
