Request: English to Greek/Hebrew 'sympathetic highlighting'

Mark Smith

It would be nice to be able to single left click on a word in the English Bible text and have that highlight the English word and at the same time the Greek/Hebrew word in an open Greek or Hebrew Bible. AFAIK a single left click does nothing. To get a sympathetic highlight requires a right click which also means it brings up the right click menu which often takes a while and is not what I'd like to have to do in order to highlight the underlying Greek/Hebrew word.

I realize there is the built in interlinear, but I have said before why I don't like that and don't use it. This would be a convenient way to quickly locate the word I am after in the Greek/Hebrew text. Sort of like "Navigate to associated word" in 3.0.

Hi Mark.

If I use the standard left-click select (click, hold, swipe) on English text that has a reverse interlinear, then the relevant text is selected in the Greek text as well (assuming sympathetic highlighting is turned on). Is this what you mean?

The left click changes focus in a Reverse Interlinear with Interlinear box showing. So click-swipe for sympathetic highlighting avoids the problem of right click and means you can select multiple words.

That does work. What I think would be nice is a simple single left click on a word without the swipe. If we can highlight a word with a right click why not with a left? No swiping needed and no right click menu.

OK. If highlighting the word in that case is distracting, have the single left click work only when 'Interlinear' is not selected (which is and will be, my default). Works differently for those who use the interlinear feature and those who don't. (What I am wanting is a way to get the 'Navigate to Associated Word' of 3.0 and sympathetic highlighting seems like a simple way to accomplish that.)
