Lexicon search results -- how to keep lemma visible?

Recommended Posts

If I do a search in a lexicon (for anything other than "Hebrew entry"), I would like to be able to know what entry I'm in as I'm browsing the results.  (I'm using Dictionary of Classical Hebrew where the entries are sometimes quite long, so the top is not usually visible without a variable amount of scrolling.) If I open the table of contents on the side, I can see what section I'm in (e.g. צ–ר), but that's not especially useful. If I shift-option-click on the ToC to open it while I'm on a particular hit, it will go right to the entry, but it will go back to only showing the section as soon as I start clicking through the hits. Is there a way to make it continue to show the lemma (either in the ToC or anywhere else) as I browse the results? I keep thinking it should be up there with the page number, but it's not. 

 

The same basic issue applies to some non-lexical resources, e.g. seeing what verse we're on in a commentary, etc. 

 

Thanks!

The GoTo box at the bottom of the tab should be displaying the Entry but it is hard to program that for every kind of tool with multiple levels.
