REQUEST: Make *clicking on* a word while the “interlinear” is shown trigger sympathetic highlighting
When the interlinear panel (the one that shows at the bottom of a panel when the little icon is clicked in a Bible view, not the full interlinear) is enabled, clicking on any word in the Bible text highlights the word in blue, and shows the underlying manuscript word and info in the panel at the bottom.
I often have NA27 open alongside the ESV and would love it if the sympathetic highlighting would automatically kick in for the word/phrase that has the blue (interlinear) highlighting applied without my having to many drag the mouse and (re-)select the word. Since the word is already “selected” by the interlinear tool it makes sense to trigger sympathetic highlighting.
Now, if the interlinear pane is turned off for a given Bible pane, then it makes sense that clicking on a word will not automatically highlight it in either that Bible pane or other sympathetic texts. But it is a crying shame to have to drag and re-select a word that I have just clicked on to “force” the sympathetic highlighting to function.
Please can this be considered for Logos 4.2?

I'm gonna have to agree with you here Stuart...unless there is something that I don't see about it...it seems like a good idea...

Why?[:D]
Note: If you right click a word irrespective of the presence of an Interlinear pane, sympathetic highlighting occurs. Unfortunately, the Context menu may hide it and it also disappears with the menu!

Yes it works this way but when you right click, usually you are going for some other function. The suggestion of the OP looks very good and helpful, especially when you have the original text Bible opened next to the English one. I am for the suggestion. [Y]
