request . navigate thru books in tab row via keyboard

Post by kenfhill84083 »

It would be helpful for me to be able to navigate thru the books (including Bibles) on the tab row via keyboard. The most logical shortcuts, in my view, would be Ctrl+Tab to navigate right and Ctrl+Shift+Tab to navigate left. This matches common Windows usage.

There are Alt+0-9 that can be used for frequently used Bibles.

Thanks for the response. I use those shortcuts a lot. But I have other Bibles in the tab row and I am not much of a mouseketeer.

Thanks. I do that too along with shift+f2 in books. It would still be handy to have browser-like ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab navigation.

TheWord has amazing usability, including shift+f3 and alt+0-9. I'm just so used to browser-like tab navigation elsewhere that I often catch myself wishing for it here too.

I have added your suggestion to our system [item TW-35]. No idea of when it will be added.
