I noticed in most areas L4M follows the Apple UI conventions for keyboard navigation around text

[Cmd][->] = end of line, and left arrow to beginning

[Option][->] = end of word, and left arrow to beginning

However when you are in the window which has tabs of bible versions and you go into the verse entry field and press [Cmd][->] or [Cmd][<-] it cycles through bible versions in the currently selected tab, it does not follow convention and go to beginning or end of entry field.

Perhaps the version cycling feature could be assigned to the [Ctrl] key.

    Tom I noticed in the Beta 3 Release Notes (http://community.logos.com/forums/t/20436.aspx) you mention

    Resource panel:

    Added keyboard shortcuts for previous and next parallel resource: Cmd+LeftArrow, Cmd+RightArrow.

    Re: my post above this means that when a (typical Mac) user goes into a resource like a bible and wants to navigate in the verse entry box and uses standard Mac wide keys like Cmd+LeftArrow they are going to a) be confused because Logos won't behave like every other Mac app b) have no way to go quickly to the beginning or end of entry box.

    I know it's not a big entry box but... it would be good not to override standard Mac key combos don't you think? The Ctrl key would be a good candidate for this functionality.
