Enhancement of Instant Details Window


Enoch

Recommended Posts

I was happy to learn recently that (into Instant Details) one could bring up one's primary lexicon by using the Mac Command key. What typically happens when one has BDAG as primary lexicon, is that

 

only the start of the article is visible,

 

since one is unlikely to have a really huge instant details window. Once the lexicon is activated in Instant Details, there seems to be no way to access the entire lexicon entry for a word. If one uses the mouse to go to Instant details to widen the window, the entry word changes when one drags across another word in the text to get to the window, or the lexical data disappears leaving a blank window.

 

I request some modification to allow resizing of the Instant Details window when one finds that the lexicon data for a word, is too large for the Instant Details window. Better, I request that the Instant Details window instantly expand to accommodate the lexicon data, then be reducible if such a window covers the entire screen. Perhaps with a huge lexicon article on one word, the Instant details should become a pane to the side of the text.

Wish granted! You can press and hold the shift key to temporarily freeze the instant details entry while you move the mouse around.

 

However, rather than invest the trouble in resizing everything, it would be easier to just triple-click the word to open the lexicon straight to the desired entry.

Thanks, I had already figured it out that u may as well just triple click to begin with.
