request : Ctrl+K (link) default to clipboard content if it is a valid link

There was an error rendering this rich post.

If the clipboard content is a valid link, it should be the default text when pressing Ctrl+K in notes. Then it is a single action: pressing Enter.

As it is now, there is an extra step after Ctrl+K : you have to first paste from the clipboard, then click Enter.

If the default (clipboard) text is not what the user wants it is a simple matter to either (a) start typing, thus overwriting the default text from the clipboard or (b) paste something previously recorded in a clipboard manager like Ditto - again overwriting the default text.

Either way, if implemented, this change should not inconvenience anyone.

This is very useful and efficient in other programs.

I still would like this as native functionality in Logos. But I have created some Autohotkey code work-around to accomplish it.

I first get a link using Ctrl+Alt+C. Then in my notes I create some text > select the new text > and press Ctrl+Shift+K. The script opens Logos' hyperlink box, sends the clipboard content, and sends the Enter key.

; ctrl shift K for use in Logos notes
^+k::
Send, ^k
SendInput, {Raw}%Clipboard%
SendInput, {Enter}
return

Allow users to type in the sermon builder on the IOS Mobile app.
Perhaps there is a way to do this, but I have looked and not been able to find it. I would love to be able to actually work on my sermons from my IOS phone. I can see what I have typed on my computer, but that is it, I cannot type new things. I would love this feature. If I could leave my PC and take up my composition on…
Sort Smart Bible Searches
It would be nice to be able to sort smart Bible searches. I like that I can save them as a passage list and then sort them, but one less step would be ideal. I came across a theme in Ezekiel 20 of God's name and I wanted to see how many times this idea is in Ezekiel. Smart Bible search was perfect for this!
Allow us to override Logos bias by attaching n - using the creation stories of Genesis as an example
Because of its reference to image, I prefer to use the Genesis 1 reference for the creation of mankind rather than Genesis 2. This is especially important to me in the current political environment as Genesis 1 has an androgynous Adam rather than a male Adam. However, Logos not only makes Genesis 2 the primary text, it…
