In version 3, I frequently use Alt+Left to go to the previous place I was in a book or Alt+Right to go back to the place I just left. This works much life the history list of a Web browser and is very handy. How is this done in version 4?
The more I mess with it, it seems to me to be an erratic feature. Sometimes I can go back in the list of passages, sometimes not. Sometimes even the little arrows on the toolbar for the book window don't work. I have not figured out the pattern yet. For some reason it seems to wake up this feature if I use Right or Left to change to a parallel resource. Then I can go back and forth between previous positions in the books.
I don't know if their is a shortcut for it, but there are arrows that accomplish this feet. also, the grey hashes on the scroll bar are your history, I believe the last 20 places you visited in the book. Hover over each will tell you where you've been.they are meant to replace turning the corner of a page in a paper book.
Harry,
I've just found using Alt+LeftArrow allows me to go back, and Alt+RightArrow allows be to go forward in my history of places with a resource. These are different to Alt+UpArrow or Alt+DownArrow which move to previous or next pericopes. For me, using the Alt+ acts just like clicking the small arrows at the top right of the resource. Great feature - works in a similar manner to Internet Explorer etc.
However, if I navigate forward to a verse, then back, then forward to another verse, I can only go back to the original one and forward to the latest one after that, but not the first one that I went to before going back. This seems to make sense because there are a number of forward options from the original verse, when only one can be chosen - the latest one seems the most logical one for the program to choose. The Back and Forward buttons on internet browsersworks just the same way. Could this be a reason for the unpredicatable nature of using the keys which you are experiencing?

It would be nice if the prev/next buttons had dropdowns like Firefox so you could pick from a history list.
I have noticed the same quirk but it doesn't seem to be caused by the Logos program. In my case it happens when running way too many memory hogging programs at the same time. If i close out some of the 16 programs running on my tool bar this lag disappears. I am hoping my next upgrade to a Quad core will eliminate this behavior altogether. The weird part, as you mention, is it apparently "wakes up" out of a slumber after you click another key first. I've found mouse clicks will also "wake up" that feature. I just don't think this is specifically a Logos programming thingy.
You know about history under tools?
No I didn't know about that. Thanks. I still think it would be useful to have a Firefox-like prev/next dropdown in each book so you could navigate independently through that book and not be restricted to a catch-all history, which looks kind of busy and confusing.
