how can I turn off parallel resources?

I am using Logos 6. I regularly have a number of commentaries and Bibles open. When I'm reading through a passage in a commentary, frequently instead of hitting the "down" arrow, I hit the "right" or "left" arrow on the keyboard accidentally. Then, the commentary switches to another commentary! The commentary I was reading disappears and a different commentary is then open. That always throws me off and it takes a little while to get back to the original commentary and find where I was. Is there a way to turn off the feature that causes the resource to change when I'm reading it and accidentally press the left or right arrow? This is happening over and over and is really distracting me from the work I'm trying to accomplish. (I already emailed Logos and the support staff wasn't sure if there is a way to disable this but suggested I ask on the forum page.) Thanks for any ideas!

Hi Sarah

these Arrows goes faster. If you have the Commentaries in Collection turn of "show in Parallel Resources"

I am using them from a "layout" which I made. I don't know if that means I have them in a collection. I'm guessing I don't have them in a collection.

There's not a way to disable this. However, if you've pressed "Left", then pressing "Right" should get you back to roughly where you were (and vice versa). Alternatively ALT+left will always let you go back to what you were just reading.

Thanks for the helpful info! I'll try ALT+left next time. In the confusion of the book changing, I am usually not sure whether I pressed left or right, so then I press one or the other and often end up going to yet another commentary since I pressed the same arrow. I often don't even remember which book I was reading because I have so many commentaries opened and I'm just going from commentary to commentary reading about a particular verse. Even when I figure out which book it was, it goes back to the top of the verse, whereas I was reading below. Then I have to find my place again. So it definitely keeps throwing me off when this happens. (Which has been happening to me for years, so I don't seem to be learning.) Well, it's helpful to confirm there's not a way to disable this. It must be helpful for some people even though it's only annoying to me. Thanks again for your reply!
