Hi!

I forgot to add that we need a "key chooser" widget.

It should replace these 3 comboboxes and maybe these 4 buttons in Bible and 
Commentary presenters. The toolbar is too big and it's complicated to choose 
a verse, it takes too long etc.

Now we need some discussion how the "key chooser" widget should look like.
My ideas:
	- Visual difference between the book, chapter and verse part of the key
	- Possibility to change current book, chapter and verse really easy
	- Tabbing between the 3 parts
	- autocompletion
	- ....

What ideas do you have (not only Martin and Jeff ;-) ?
