Ctrl/Cmd+C should copy Bible text styled

When we copy text from the Bible, we almost always want it styled according to our default Copy Bible Verses style. Please make Ctrl/Cmd+C copy as styled Bible text rather default resource text.

I want to be able to select a passage, hold command-C and be able to copy the passage with text reference and then paste it into my word document. Right now its a three step process from Logos to Word. Then I have to change it around once its pasted over.. seems like a simple task.1

Maybe this could be as simple as a user preference? Allow the user to select their preferred Copy/Paste Style?0

@zachary-98, yes, possibly so.0

@phil-gons , I agree with the style option, something in preferences. That would be a better option, since not everyone wants the same style, but I suspect most want to conveniently use whatever style they like.0

The paste command is where the options should be. See MS Word for their options: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/control-the-formatting-when-you-paste-text-20156a41-520e-48a6-8680-fb9ce15bf3d60

Definitely needs to be a user-set preference. I agree that I usually would prefer it this way, but sometimes I'd prefer text only, and sometimes I'd prefer the footnote. Perhaps a toggle in a drop down menu? I think it would be helpful to have this as a global setting that is user adjustable but then also have it easy to make exceptions by resource and to change those depending on what I'm doing.0

@BruceL No, because that doesn't change whether it copies full citation, just the reference, or no citation at all. The issue is content, not formatting.0

I usually prefer to copy bible text plain, or one verse on a line. This can be done easily enough through the context menu, or through the tool for copying bible verses.0

or at least allow us to configure how verses should be copied.0

I think it would be very helpful.0

I agree it would be helpful to have a user setting, and then the ability to make easy exceptions (e.g., when I occasionally need to include the footnote).0
-
Yes! It's a much-needed improvement.

I completely agree, however Logos would incorporate the options pertinent for their system.
