[jsword-devel] Hebrew/Greek defs as tooltips

[Daniel Owens]

I want to affirm this effort as well. I wonder if there is a way to give 
access to lemma and morphology information without having to see the 
Strong's number, lemma, or morphology codes. I know that many users will 
want to see the Strong's numbers, but for those who are trying to read 
in a fluid fashion this clutters the screen. It would be nice to have 
access to the information without cluttering the screen. BibleTime 
implements this nicely using sword. I would think that jsword could 
handle this as well, though I speak from ignorance. Perhaps words 
themselves could be a link without the underlined blue text? There is 
just so much to commend BibleDesktop/Alkitab already. This would really 
move things forward when it comes to reading Greek and Hebrew
