Include reference when amplifying to more than one lexicon

[Michel Gilbert]

Hi,

Unless I'm mistaken, the Preference, "Amplify > Other > Include reference when amplifying from text to tool," only works with one tool at a time, the triple click default, e.g., a default lexicon.

I really wish this could be expanded in two ways for the lexicons:

i) Include the reference in linked lexicons.

ii) Include the reference when using Live Click > Lexicon Lookup, in my case, in a user defined custom group.

Since some lexical entries are very long, it is helpful to see the verse you amplify from highlighted in the entry. It is also helpful to compare lexical entries on the same verse in different lexicons. By the way, L has feature i) (called "Emphasize active references"). But, if Accordance offered i) and ii) above, it would be much more useful, since L doesn't have an equivalent of Live Click (as far as I know). Another benefit of implementing ii) above would be to see whether the verse you are working on is cited in other places in the Lexicon Lookup list, e.g., as a proposed emendation. Again, in a very long list it is helpful to see the verse highlighted in different places.

I wish these features could be offered on the iPad too.

Thanks

Michel
