<br>I love the parallel Bible diff mode - thanks!<br><br>Some other ideas:<br>- Allow the "Show passage" area to be a TextArea rather than a TextField - i.e. allow it to be multi-line so that when there are many search matches you can have a scroll bar.
<br>- Allow people to get rid of the "Go" buttons. I understand that people think they need them, so it's good to have them on by default, but they don't actually serve any useful purpose.<br>- A Filter might be a neat addition for dictionaries. Currently (if you are in the know) you can jump to a dictionary entry by selecting any entry and just typing the one you want, but this isn't obvious. In addition there is no way to find "SHESHBAZZAR" in Thompson because it is down under "ZERUBBABEL OR SHESHBAZZAR". The Filter could be a way to select any entries matching any part of what you typed.
<br>- Having Strongs numbers show up as the actual numbers would be very useful.<br><br>Shall I open JIRA entries?<br>Thanks.<br><br>Joe.<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 6/24/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">DM Smith
