Secret keystrokes in Logos Bible Software!

I recently showed someone how F8 lets you draw on the screen in Logos Bible Software.

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4XPnCbJbWo

And F7 brings up a quick text-comparison pop-over window when you use it in a Bible, or even while hovering over a Bible reference link.

These aren't easily discovered features, so I thought I'd mention them again for new users....

Aw, I knew about those. I thought you were going to tell us about some secret keystroke combination that would bring up an Easter egg. Are there any of those hidden in Logos? [:)]

I'd just like to know about the secret Ctrl-F5 shortcut on the homepage (Windows version; don't know about Macs).

Offline, F5 (refresh) on the homepage goes and gets a succession of book snippets (I have everything turned off possible).

Ctrl-F5 (being secret, it's not in the new Logos Help manual) appears to go get the Logos'y stuff (which, offline, is mainly media and pointers to blogs, etc). But I haven't seen exactly how it works, since Ctrl-F5 also appears to execute F5 after Ctrl-F5. It's hush, hush.

Oh, and typing FSD (Facilitate Serendipitous Discovery) into the command bar is another secret feature. It opens a random resource to a random place.

And I was just recently reminded about the little-known gestures that you can do on screen with the mouse.

Yes, do tell.

I knew many of these but others were new.

There's probably a secret "unlock all resources" command somewhere ... [H]

I literally laughed at loud. That's "God mode" in the gaming world (and I don't mean any disrespect at all here; it's just a reference to current culture*).

*I find it strange that I felt compelled to say that. [:P]

There's a "God mode" in Windows, too. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/GodMode-Windows-7-How-to,9345.html

The secret "unlock all resources" command in Logos is called "get a job at Faithlife." [:)]
