I can't seem to figure out how to open a second copy of a Bible

This has been a feature since 2.0 days. I hope it's not gone, but just in the 'waiting' stage. This would be a deal-breaker for me, since I typically have 3 copies of my Bible open at any given time -- absolutely essential for Synoptic studies, but even for use of the OT in the New at least two are essential.

    Hi Rich.

    If you right-click a tab, you can open a copy of the tab. I just opened the ESV, then right-clicked the tab and opened a copy of the ESV. A new tab with the ESV popped in the existing window. I dragged it over to see it in parallel. Is that what you're looking for, or did I miss something?

    Well, I didn't think of that. I tried doing what I did before after doing a search with CTRL-left click, but that didn't open a new resource. I opened a new tab and tried to load a second copy of my Bible (NIV) there, but it wasn't in the list! I never thought to right click on the tab. Thanks!

    There is also a command called "Copy this panel to a new tab" on the resource panel menu (click the book cover).

    You can also hold CTRL while you drag a tab to clone it and drag it around the layout in one operation.

    Enjoy!

    You can also press Ctrl+Shift+N (just like LDLS3) to open a second copy.

    Ctrl+Click is supported within resources (to open a second copy of the target of the link), but is not yet supported consistently throughout the entire application.
