Copy Bible Verse

Luke Burgess

I know that there is a shortcut key for the Copy Bible Verse window (Ctrl+Alt+B). I also know that I can use a URL link to the window to populate the text (e.g. https://ref.ly/logos4/CopyBibleVerses?ref=BibleESV.John3.16). However, neither of these methods actually copy the bible verse, I still need to move the mouse to click the Copy button. This makes the shortcut key to the window fairly useless. I've tried Tab but the tab order of the widgets is odd making it unreliable. Does anyone know of a way that I can get a Bible verse into my paste buffer without using the mouse? Seems like a simple thing that many people would want to do.

If you want a style already set in the CBV window then right click on the verse and select Copy > Styled.

If you copy many verses, then you only have to select Reference once (on the left side) and you have a two click solution. If you need a different style, you have to use the CBV window via the More» option.

If didn't want a style, then click Lines or Text only.

CONSIDER that a simple Copy involves selecting the verse(s) then CTRL+C.

NOTE: If you are pasting into a Word document, you can type the reference followed by space, right-click and invoke Additional Actions > Replace with Passage as that will use the last style selected in Copy Bible Verse (CBV). It can be flaky with MS updates, though.
