Ideas for future development

If you purchase a physical Greek NT (or Septugent) such as one created by UBS there is generally a MSS description about all the MSS used in the creation of the revision, then as you read through the script, there are subscripts with MSS information such as differences in MSS.

It would be nice if this was incorporated in BSS in some way.

A nice feature would be to be able to press alt+left arrow to go back one verse and alt+right arrow to go forward one verse.

I'll have to vote against this one. I've requested more than once that Alt-Left/Right do the same things as the left and right arrows, i.e. go to the previous/next context. This is, to me, "intuitive" in that it's exactly what a browser does, with the same keys as the browser.

Of course, I've also requested several times that we be able to customize the keyboard. That would solve everyone's request at once.

I too vote against making the alt-left/right arrow as keys move up and down a verse rather than for moving between contexts. The up/down arrow keys work just fine for previous and next verse.

Now that WOULD be a nice idea!

Ctrl arrow-up/down already moves the result window text up/down one verse, but may be you're looking for something else.

Hello all,

I am a two year BW user living in Japan. In our country, we use so many "Kanji" characters for daily communication with others. It has multibyte(16bit) character-coding system, the most popular is "SHIFT-JIS"(CP932). I wanted to use my own language on BW. So, I converted Japanese Bible text from other domestically produced bible text soft to BW as "user-made version". At a glance it works correctly, but there are irregular characters at the end of almost all lines. I think it is because of BW's character-code handling scheme which is designed to interpret all coding system as singlebyte(8bit). So, is it able to modify the design to fit to 'multibyte-ready' one on current or next version? Or are there any other way to change this situation?

Thank you!!

One thing I'd like to see is a forward/backward button that works like every other forward/backward button.

That is, I'd like it actually to take me back to the last view I had. If I moved from Ephesians 1:4 to Romans 2:6, and then to Proverbs 14:3, and then press the Back button -- I'd like to go back to Romans 2:6!

Not to 2 Maccabees 1:9! -- or whatever crazy idea got into BW's head at the moment.

The way it is, it's like the Omega 13 button. You push it, and there's no telling what might happen!

You know what the Omega 13 is!
Never give up!

So good to be among my own kind.
This would make a great BW easter egg btw...
