Right Click
Is right clicking on a word going to be an option for word study ?

I hope so, but in a browser there aren't a lot of options for locating the word that was clicked on. I haven't spent any time on it yet, but if we can figure out an implementation that works accurately, then I don't see why not.

I know, if you have a program like a download manager or something, you can right click on an item and download it with the download manager. So it would seem like if they can add right click options to a browser we should be able to also.

Download managers usually add this functionality through an installed plugin,..something Logos is probably trying to avoid in this interface. -Matthew

Yeah, I agree that it would be extremely useful to have some way to lookup a word directly from a text. I was trying to use library.logos.com in a desktop browser the other day to do some NT translation away from home, but it was very tedious because there's no way (I could find) to look up a word in BDAG (or any lexicon) without (1) knowing the lemma (not the inflected form), (2) typing it into BWS, then (3) clicking the BDAG link.
I wonder if it would be easier to make each word a hyperlink instead of trying to locate the mouse pointer. I'm sure this would take a lot of resource editing to set up (making the links and telling them where to point - might require a special version of the resource for web-based vs. iPhone), but I can imagine being able to click on any word in a original language resource or reverse interlinear resource and it taking me to a page that shows more info: for a Greek/Hebrew resources it could go straight to BWS, for an English rev. int. it could show the English and the underlying Greek/Hebrew, each one in turn linking to BWS.
Anyway, just dreaming. I really like the web-based stuff and use it frequently on computers and a BlackBerry.
