[resolved] This or NOTHING - staying in the same passage OR the same word
I want to know how to keep a commentary on the same passage, such as Isaiah 44:20. Right now, if a commentary does not have Isaiah 44:20 available, it switches to that which it has available, such as Isaiah 40:8, and from then on, the next commentary 'forgets' I am looking for 44:20. I hope I have explained myself well, I want 44:20 when that exists, without having to input 44:20 again. I don't mind if it doesn't exist.
I would also like to know if there is a way that I can even avoid clicking on that commentary if my passage is not available. Sort of the way eSword works. The same for my lexicons, when I am looking for a word in Hebrew. Is there a way to know that a definition is given by a lexicon before I even click on it?
Many thanks for all you do, Logos folks. I can't even imagine what doing the same research would have taken ten or twenty years ago.

You can select the parallel passages icon (two vertical lines) from a commentary that you have open to see all the other commentaries that have the same verse/passage. I usually start with the Bible Knowledge Commentary and then use the parallel passages icon to find other commentaries on the same passage.

Integ, thanks so much. I have been doing this the long and hard way. And the good news is that it works with my lexicons, also. Many thanks!!!!

Even easier: use the right/left arrows on your keyboard.
If you want a new tab instead of the same, click on the + next to the last tab.
