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 the forum post: (Global) keyboard shortcut to look up passage in preferred Bible - Logos Forums

One needs to remember the difference between the command (universal input) entry box (1) and the navigation entry box (2).

To illustrate the abbreviated notation, begin with a Bible opened to some passage.

If you wish to move to another passage within the same Biblical book (or another verse in the same book and chapter), you can enter just the chapter and verse (or verse only) in the navigation box. This does not work in the command box.

Note the contents of the dropdown select menu reflect the complete Bible reference. When you hit enter, you go to the new location in the Bible.

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Thank you for the tips!

    Is there a good tutorial showing the functions of the command entry box and the navigation entry box?

    Thank you

    I don't know of any serious documentation; I can write a tip with the other important points.

    The wiki (or Help) is fairly clear in giving the possible commands. Logos 10 Commands
