Add lexicon search to non-Strong's-tagged texts #219

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
The option of a Lexicon search from the main window (i.e. “Lexicon search for 
‘Love’”). This feature implies some structural changes. Such a request 
would logically open a window dedicated to presenting lexicon search results. 
The benefit of implementing this is that you could open up the possibility to 
search from any similar language module. I.E. right clicking on “love” in 
the NET module could show “Lexicon search for ‘Love’” and the results 
would show the KJV lookup. I don’t think any Bible software has this feature 
yet. But it’s kind of like what you have done with the ORIG tab, which makes 
even non-tagged texts interlinear.

[This is an interesting idea. It would be possible to add an entry to the 
context-menu that would appear for any text whose language matches that of one 
or more Strong's tagged texts. These menu items could say something like: 
"lexicon search KJV". This is doable but probably not for this release since it 
would not be trivial.]
