At some point this stopped working. Typing translation to verse doesn't default open it up anymore. Anyone know how to fix this?
The order of options in the list can shift based on what types of commands you recently used. The option you want should still be displayed in the list for you to select using the down arrow.
Is there a way to set it to open up a specified translation, verse, book, to default?
I'm not quite sure what you are asking here. I think you are asking if you can make so that you can hit enter after typing "esv to john 3 16" and have it always select a specific option in the menu. If so, the answer is no. You might be better served with a shortcut to the ESV. After the shortcut opens the resource, use Ctrl+G (or Cmd+G on Mac) to put your focus in the navigation box where you can enter the desired verse or pericope.
