Summary: req: Limit view to verse ranges?

Initial Comment:
Hi, would it be possible to limit verses to a range, like Luke 4:1-5 in the view window and would it be possible to copy the entire window to the clipboard (rather than only chapter or one verse)?  This would be very helpful for exporting to emails or personal notes.

Thanks, and may the Lord continue to bless you for your service!

This would be a great feature. I have thought about this. It would require
many changes in UI and code.

* User could write a key range into keychooser.
* But they should be checked, we don't want the default sword behaviour
(like verses 1-300 gives several chapters).
* The range should be declared somewhere in the user interface to make it
copyable and draggable without selecting the whole text.

Even more useful would be allowing a list of keys/ranges, but it would be
also more complicated.

* There would be no "current verse".
* Next/previous should be disabled.
* Would there be a limit on how much could be shown? E.g. Gen1-Rev1 would
give almost whole Bible, it would definitely break something, at least
freeze the interface.
