Shortcuts keys

Use shortcut keys to perform common tasks more quickly than with the mouse and menus. The following tables list all of Xiphos's shortcut keys.

Window selection/opening and navbar selection

Action	Keyboard shortcut
Focus and select the main verse navbar text. You can then immediately type in new verse selection text. Be aware that, as is the case with most Sword applications, Xiphos understands many abbreviations: "G" is adequate to specify Genesis, for example, and any book name by itself implies 1:1.	`Ctrl`+`L`
Bring the Commentary View forward when previously obscured by the Book View.	`Alt`+`C`
Focus on the general book.	`Alt`+`G`
Focus on the dictionary navbar text.	`Alt`+`D`
Apri una nuova scheda.	`Ctrl`+`T`
Make the tab #1 current.	`Ctrl`+`1`
Make the tab #2 current.	`Ctrl`+`2`
...	...
Make the tab #9 current.	`Ctrl`+`9`
