Another tip of the day (TOTD) series for Logos/Verbum 10. They will be short and often drawn from forum posts. Feel free to ask questions and/or suggest forum posts you'd like to see included. Adding comments about the behavior on mobile and web apps would be appreciated by your fellow forumites. A search for "L/V 10 Tip of the Day site:community.logos.com" on Google should bring the tips up as should this Reading List within the application.

This tip is inspired by the forum post: BUG: Alt-D Doesn't open Command Box When Toolbar is Vertical and Collapsed - Logos Forums

If you are keyboard rather than mouse oriented, there are two important shortcuts:

1. For the app level input box a.k.a. Go box a.k.a. Command box, use Alt+D. (yes there is a temporary bug on the collapse vertical format).

2. For the resource/guide level navigation box, use Cntrl+G

The Command box hotkey for Windows is Alt+D as the graphic shows (not the text above), and the resource/guide hotkey for Windows is Ctrl+G as the text shows (not the graphic).

Thanks. I've corrected it ... I obviously wasn't practicing mindfulness when I posted.

Thank you, Graham.  

The Opt-Cmd-L didn't work, until I switched over to the main window. I'd of thought it'd be more global in the app.  But works.
