The navigation choice section shows how the navigation arrows
will move the displayed text (you can also press Alt + up/down (Windows) or Shift + Cmd + up/down (Mac) to navigate using your keyboard).
Opening the navigation selection allows you to choose between Article, Book, Chapter, Verse, and Annotation.
- Article navigates by pericope in a Bible, heading in commentary, or next entry in a dictionary.
Note: The following three options (Book, Chapter, and Verse) only work with books that use Bible indexing.
- Book moves between books in the Bible.
- Chapter navigates from one chapter to another.
- Verse moves from one verse to another.
- Annotation moves to the next/previous Note or Highlight in the book, it only works when you have selected items under Notes and Highlights in the Visual filters menu, it is not as effective if you have filtered your Notes and Highlights from the Sidebar.
The Close button closes the Locator bar.
