Hi there,

What Keyboard shortcuts would you like to see us bring to iPad?

We're not looking for specific shortcuts (like "Command + T"), I'm more interested in the specific actions (like open a new tab) that you would love to see supported on iPad. 

I know there are many of you who choose to your tablet for  much of your Logos Bible study, so help us understand how we can better support your keyboard needs. 

-Daniel

Also a copy Bible verse shortcut which would copy either the current verse or the selected verses to the clipboard.

A goto Library shortcut would also be welcomed.

My biggest wish would be to navigate in the window with keyboard commands, scroll up/down a verse, a window, etc.

It would great to be able to select a verse once the cursor is in the verse - and then open a guide (passage, exegetical, etc.) and/or copy that verse or range.

It would be helpful to be able to select and open a new window from a a guide - and then navigate to it and then back to the guide. (And close the window when you're done with it.)

I'll echo what others have said about opening a basic search, or bible search query from the keyboard.

- Highlighting shortcuts (the ones we assign on the Desktop version) would be huge for me.

- General shortcuts—copy, cut, paste, etc.

- Page movement shortcuts—spacebar to page down, etc.

Thanks for letting us know that this is on your radar!

Absolute musts

• New tab / New Window
• Close current window (return to whatever screen I was on previously, I would use this when I am cycling through resources on a passage guide where Cmd-W would then take me back to the guide. Or if I clicked a link from a book footnote, when I was done reading that reference, Cmd-W would take me back to the old book. Open a note full-screen and when done reading/writing, close it and go back to resource...etc)
• Copy
• Find
• Play audio / pause audio on audio Bible/audiobook background playing
• Open - CMD O to change resource

Nice to have

• Launch actions after I've selected text
• Custom highlighting keystrokes (imported from Desktop app customization if possible. For example, I use the letter Y to highlight in yellow, B in blue, etc). 
• Launch word study on selected word
• Launch passage guide on the verse(s) selected
• Launch exegetical guide on verse(s) selected
• Make a note on the verse selected
• Make a note on the word(s) selected

I am unaware of any lists. FL, as a general rule, does not release time frames.

I absolutely agree. Even basic programs like the kindle app has these features.
