I've been an idjit to not have suggested this years ago ... but a long history of having it slowly grow kept me from seeing the obvious. The current implementation of the left side of the Context Menu is not about the user but about the history of Logos and implementation of its features.
The Context Menu selection side is often a long list which to the user seems to be without order. It also includes many options geared to grammatical-historical criticism which is not the starting point for most lay users or many non-evangelical professionals. It also is organized by how it is implemented in Logos i.e. all the labels are together while useability normally hides the physical implementation. Please reorder the selection side of the menu to be based on a handful of functions which can be expanded and contracted and have that state remembered by the system. Potential functions:
a) technical grammar and syntax (morphology, grammatical constructions, accents, syllables...)
b) meaning (lemma gloss, sense, figures of speech, person, place, thing ...)
c) events (biblical events, miracles, theophanies . . .)
d) literary elements (genre, speaker/addressee, commandments of God, mitzvoth . . .)
e) classifications (preaching themes, counseling themes, topics ...)
By leaving sections closed e.g. grammar/syntax and classifications, a lay person can never see elements they do not need. The elements they do see can be in simple alphabetic order without needing to know if it is a label or a datatype.
Please vote at Simplify Context Menu selection to be by function not by implementation | Logos
