When speaking about references, we refer to the list of references available in the References Area.
References are loaded in the References Area.
References can be loaded as a result of:
* A search operation.
* Opening a list of references, through menu File - References - Open.
* Checking.
* Getting them from a projectnote.
When a list of references is opened, up to three words can be chosen to be highlighted in the Text Area, when a reference is activated in the References Area.
The references list is used to quickly navigate to the verse referred to. Just double-click on the reference and Bibledit presents that verse in the Text Area.
Within the references area a keyboard navigation aid is active. To locate example, Matthew, go through the following steps
* Click in the references area to select it.
* Type the key sequence mat
Bibledit moves to the first reference for the book of Matthew.
Other navigation aids:
* Next Reference (F6): Actives the first reference, or if one is active already (except the last one), the next one.
* Previous Reference (Shift+F6) Actives the first reference, or if one is active already (except the first one), the previous one.
* When the Reference Area is active (the cursor is visible in it) the cursor can be moved up/down by the Up/Down arrow keys, which selects the previous/next reference in the list at the same time. In order to activate the selected reference in the list, Enter is used.
A list of references can be saved through menu, File / Export. See information about exporting data.
Any references that are at present in the References Area can be hidden for the future. Right-click on that reference, and choose Hide from now on. It won't come back in the future.
The list of references that has been hidden can be seen and edited via menu Preferences - Ignored references.
To print references, including the text they refer to, type Ctrl+P or choose menu File - Print. Follow the screen.
When working in a text and going to another reference, it is important to have a way to find back to the original reference.
The Menu / Goto / Previous Reference in History, or the keys Previous/Next in the toolbar (green arrows to the left/right) can be used to go to the the original reference in the Text Area. This is the text before any reference of the Reference Area was activated.
To see the text of a reference, click on it once, and the verse will be displayed in the Quick Reference Area.
