JohnABarnett Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 I have watched a number of videos by Bill Mounce using Accordance, and I've noticed that he has figured a way to cycle through English translations in the same pane. He does this without using a drop-down selection. Is this done using a special keystroke? When he does this it does not show the group of texts that the cycling pulls from. Any pointers on how this might be done? It would be great to group preferred English translations and cycle through them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accord Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 John, on a Mac you can cycle through the texts using the left and right arrows on the keyboard – assume it may be similar with windows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Also, if the arrow preferences are not set to move through text/tools, ctrl 1, ctrl 2, ctrl 3, to ctrl 0 will cycle through the first 10 resources. —Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnABarnett Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Okay, thanks to both of you. I'll check that out. How might one segment the resources so that the ones I want would be in the first 10? The first 10 in my library? In Texts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnABarnett Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Okay, so in Windows it's SHIFT-ALT and the numbers 1 and following. That's great. Thanks a bunch. Okay, I figured out that I order my library texts with my preferred ten on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnABarnett Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 Tried the arrow keys setting in Preferences/General, but though the preference was there and set correctly the arrow keys did not work in my Windows. But SHIFT + ALT plus number works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But SHIFT + ALT plus number works fine. I wonder if this feature is broken on the windows platform. Perhaps someone on windows will be able to confirm for you whether this behavior is working, or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solly Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I am using Accordance 13.0.4 in Windows 10. The behavior is the same as on the macOS platform with version13.0.4—left and right arrows change to the next resource in the library while the up and down arrow scroll through the resource currently chosen. —Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgvh Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 I saw the videos and was wondering the same thing! Thanks to @Solly, I found the option in Preferences to make it so that using left/right arrow keys toggles through my versions. It goes through them depending on how I have them ordered in my library. I had been using SHIFT-ALT #, and that works fine, but: You have to be a little careful because SHIFT-ALT by itself is the Windows default for toggling through language keyboards. You cannot use the numbers on the number pad. You have to use the ones above the letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnABarnett Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Right, Fabian, thanks. The trouble I'm having using arrow keys is this: even having checked that box and restarted Accordance they don't work, at least on my Windows desktop. Only the SHIFT+ALT method works for me.

Mark Allison Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 Are you making sure the Text pane you're using is the active pane? Also, are you using the left-right arrow keys (the up-down keys don't work). Finally, make sure your cursor isn't in the Search Entry box (it won't work if it is). Click on the Tab or the zone heading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Click on the Tab or the zone heading. Re: Active pane, yes. Re: left/right vs up/down, I tried each of these just in case. Just retried, checking all this, and still no go. But SHIFT+ALT works.
