TIP of the day: you can get there from here quickly (compare pericope and word tree)

MJ. Smith

Today's tip is short, building on two recent posts - one on the pericope comparison tool, the other on the use of the word-tree tool. Each of these may be opened from the command box, optionally to a specific passage. I wish we had railroad diagrams with the syntax of these commands. This is what I have learned by experimentation. Do you have any variations to add?

1. Begin with either "Show" or "Open" - show is the preferred term but open is recognized as a synonym which is translated into show. Then follow with the tool name - either "Compare pericopes" or "Word tree":

2. Optionally you may specify the passage you would like the tool opened to - using either the word "for" or "to". The synonym "to" will be converted to the preferred "for"

3. By default the tools open in a floating window. You may have it open in a new docked tab by adding the phrase "in a new tab" to any of the above forms.

Generally I don't tend to use these type of shortcuts but I can totally see the value if you use them a lot.

This would be helpful.
