Copy / paste default

Good morning all,

I have a quick question about c/p and its default mode. Logos c/p has always functioned as what I would consider a true c/p, meaning that it literally c/p whatever is selected (no scripture references etc unless they are there in the text to start with).

I was recently reading something on these forums that led me to believe that you can change that functionality. Is that true or did I misread?

In a perfect world (for me anyway), if I hit ctrl+c/ctrl+v I will have pasted in my preferred style from Copy Bible Versus. Is it possible to do this or is it a bridge too far?

Also, bonus points if anyone knows how to truly control the fonts etc. in the styles. I.e. I'd like to control the spacing (line breaks, paragraph spacing etc.) while still keeping the formatting of the preferred style (what is captured.- scripture reference etc.)

As always, thanks in advance!

Do you use the selection menu at all (can be turned on/off in settings)? If you do use the selection menu, you can simply select the desired text then click on "Copy Verse: Styled". This will use your most recently used style from the CBV tool.

Thanks for replying Reuben,

First, apologies - I have been out of town and am just now getting to this. I do use the selections menu but that defeats the purpose of what I am attempting to do. Simply put, I want to use my default paste when I use ctrl+c/ctrl+p.

Simply put, I want to use my default paste when I use ctrl+c/ctrl+p.

CBV allows a font to be specified but does not deliver it. You have to rely on the destination font/style as being your "default" or change it after pasting.

Yep - I understand that and can set the default paste in the app (in this case, OneNote) to paste the text as-is.

So as an example, if I use my default style, (CBV - Copy, then paste it into OneNote) Is 6:1-3 looks like this:

Isaiah 6:1–3 (NIV) 1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;

the whole earth is full of his glory.”

If however, I just ctrl+c/ctrl+p, then I get this:

6 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. 2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:

“Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts;
The whole earth is full of His glory!”

So, to reiterate, I want ctrl+c/ctrl+p to paste my style (#1 above) into my program (OneNote.) So, is there a way to tell Logos what style to use when using keyboard shortcuts?
