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.

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

@zachary-98, yes, possibly so.

@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.

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-fb9ce15bf3d6

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.

@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.

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.

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

David Richardson

I think it would be very helpful.

Josiah Young

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).

Anderson Abreu

Yes! It's a much-needed improvement.

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