When I add a new tab, a list of recently opened resources are available for me to pick from. But I would love to be able to type in a resource that may not appear in the recently opened panel and then be able to click to pull it up.
Yes, yes, yes!!! I've been intending to suggest this for a long time but have been too lazy.
This would let me control the specific tab (and thus pane/window) that a newly-opened resource appears in. Put a search box in the newly-opened tab and a reasonable way to present matches.
Thanks,
Donnie
Yeah, I would love to see this as well. I cannot say how many times I have actually tried to do this & then remembered that I have to start at the Library icon.
I assume that you know that you can type Open book title into the Command box, select the book from the list to open a book.
I was not aware of this.
It by far my most common way of opening a resource. I keep forgetting not everyone uses the tools the same way I do. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to remind people of this option.
Still trying to figure out how this works
To open Julian of Norwich. Julian of Norwich: Showings. Edited by Richard J. Payne. Translated by Edmund Colledge and James Walsh. The Classics of Western Spirituality. Mahwah, NJ: Paulist Press, 1978. I type:
Open Showings
To open the NRSV
Open NRSV to Mark 1
To open the commentary Dowd, Sharyn Echols. Reading Mark: A Literary and Theological Commentary on the Second Gospel. Reading the New Testament Series. Macon, GA: Smyth & Helwys Publishing, 2000. I type
Always appreciate your helpfulness, MJ.
This does not seem to be faster under my style of doing things. It would be nice if I could bring up a +New Tab and start typing a resource that I often use but that does not show up on the frequency list. More often than not, this ends up being one of the many personal books I created that I often edit...
I'm pretty sure I know what you mean, and yes I know you can do that. But it's fraught with difficulty. The command box is about more than opening resources, so there's a whole set of logic it goes through to come up with a list. Among other things, that means it's really slow. Also, it still gives zero control over the tab in which the resource will be opened.
I realize there are some design decisions that would have to be made in the suggested feature. But a new tab via '+' is already showing a whole lot of resources to pick from. Just go the next step...
