Commentary Target Window

Dewayne Davis:

Is there anything built into the program that would allow a single window to be the target of ALL commentary link clicks?

Do you mean so that if you are reading a commentary and clicking on links to other commentaries - or other resources - that they all open in the same window?

If so, I don't know of any way to do this in the program at the moment but it sounds like a really good idea.

Maybe there is a better work flow than mine. But when I have a thought or question come up while reading a passage, I will open the Passage Guide to go deeper. As I go through the commentaries in the list, each one is opening a new TAB. It would be nice to have it set up that each newly opened commentary would replace the last as you go through the list. A better way to cycle through the commentaries is to just use the right arrow. The only problem with this is that if a commentary does not have a hit on the exact verse it jumps to the nearest one. And when you cycle to the next commentary it jumps to this new location, not the original one. For example if I am looking at Romans 3:3 in a commentary and cycle using the right arrow to the next one, and it doesn't have an entry for Romans 3:3 it jumps to the next one. And if the next one is Romans 4, then cycling again would take the next commentary to Romans 4 instead of Romans 3:3. After a few misses, you can get pretty far off from where you started.

Part of the solution is to choose commentaries that are very nearly verse by verse; which is my main criteria. But  one improvement I've noted is that the result verse isn't found in the range that precedes the target i.e. 2 Thess 2:5-7 is not the result for v.6 if that milestone follows the range.
