How do you look up an English word in an English dictionary from a tagged Bible?

I notice that when I used a tagged bible like ESV with Strongs or NRSV with Strongs and hover over an English word then right click and select "look up" the "dictionary" that it looks for the word in a Hebrew or Greek lexicon rather than an English dictionary.

 

What's up with that? How do I get it to go to an English dictionary?

If you hold shift down while clicking on "Dictionary" that will override the triple-click prefs and that should search your dictionaries. In my case that finds English in Websters.

D,

 

That works, thanks!

 

Is that mentioned in a manual or document somewhere? I don't recall ever learning that but it solves the problem.

Hi Dave,

 

  Check out the doc section : Digging Deeper > Keyed Bible Texts > Amplifying with Key Numbers

 

 

Press Shift while amplifying from a Key number word via the shortcut menu and choosing Lookup>Dictionary to search for the word in the top English dictionary.

 

Thx

D
