Priorities a Layout when entering a Bible Passage in the Search Field

Currently it is a gamble what Logos does when you enter a Bible Passage and just press enter. Sometimes the Passage Layout opens, sometimes a Bible and only one commentary..

Right now my workflow is to enter a passage, then wait a moment that all the options pop up, and the klick on Open Passage Study Layout, which is really bothering me. It would be so much faster if you just type the Bible Passage and press Enter, without waiting and know what Logos will do.

My solution would be to add a setting where we can prioritise one option, and then when we quickly type a Bible Passage and hit enter this option will always happen. For example in my case, always the Bible Study Layout will open

I am sympathetic to your request, but FL would have to cater to other users (who have similar issues with bible passages) and be pragmatic. So presenting all Command options in a Setting would be onerous, and I think the choices would likely be:
. Default (current Command Box behaviour)
. Look Up (in Preferred Bible)
. Reading Aloud
. Layouts (select your layout from Command Box)
. Search (select the type of Search from Command Box)
Layouts and Search options would change over time, but the above Settings should be effective in terms of speed and utility if it is understood that the Command Box would present only what is chosen e.g. Layouts only.
Books and Tools (i.e. Factbook) could be added to the list.

@Dave Hooton what do you mean with "select Layout from Command Box"?

Simon

One other solution would be to introduce keyboard shortcuts. e.g. you press Command + P to open a passage Layout or Command + S to open up the search.

iPad sync highlights
To me it is a major downside of using Logos on iPad that my highlights are not synced across my different bibles. If I do a highlight in ESV, I can't get it to show up in my Greek bible, etc. iPads these days are more than powerful enough to handle a feature like this. Please enable it for iPads!

AI Search Capability
I just want to say, this was the one reason why I stopped using Logos so much; because the search function did not have the power or versatility to answer questions like "Where does Paul talk about teach sound doctrine and only through God's Word." It could not do that. I could type that into Google and add "Bible Hub,…
