Allow multiple Bible versions in "Instant Details" simultaneously


TYA

Recommended Posts

Please allow any number (or at least 5-6) Bible versions to appear in the "Instant Details" window when mousing over verse references in Accordance (and also see my request titled "Make all verse references popup displayable").

 

I use this feature constantly in the competitor's software, and it allows me to instantly read any verse that I mouse over *anywhere* in the competitor's software (whether that verse reference is in a Bible, commentary, dictionary, lexicon, map apparatus, or other module).

 

There are no words to explain how helpful it would be to allow an extended popup window with multiple preset Bible versions.  (I'm aware that at least 2 are currently available in Accordance using the Ctrl key, but they don't display at the same time, and this is still extremely limited compared to the competition.

I can live w/ two versions (accessing the second via the CTRL key), but the most common use for this is scanning the English, Greek, and Hebrew. For now, I have the Greek text set for the CTRL option, but that does no good in the OT. I need at least three versions available.

I'd like access to both Greek and Hebrew, as well as an English translation myself.

 

However, I don't think I'd like the multiple translation feature. As an alternative, maybe we should consider adding some sort of Live Click to Tools, so people could click on a verse reference and open every translation.

This was a standard feature in BW and was greatly appreciated. I would love to be able to see, in a popup window, for example, NA28 plus a modern translation for the NT, and, for the OT, BHS + LXX + NETS + a modern translation. Hugely useful!

Thank you for all the replies.  As MGVH said up above, "...the most common use for this is scanning the English, Greek, and Hebrew."  Yes, for me this is true.

 

Combined with the fact that BW makes virtually every verse reference popup-able throughout the program (and especially important in long search results lists where quick scanning via a popup window is helpful (and not yet available in Accordance)--having multiple preset Bible versions in a popup window is--again--indispensable.

 

Thanks for the feedback, all.

I also agree this would be a great feature- I would say preset modules would be even better- The ability to quick view several modules at once and select just which ones pop up with a hover would be fantastic.

Here is how I have achieved getting multiple translations instantly for any verse. These two tabs are tied together.
