@Brandon Staggs - You know how I have been a long time advocate for the keyboard shortcuts. By now I am very adept at them, and their use often adds speed to my study, for which I am grateful. However, I just today discovered that pressing "Ctrl" alone in any of the windows, and using the mouse to point to any word (so it seems), will bring up the option to do a concordance search for that word (with preview), and if you use "Ctrl+Alt" with your mouse, you can open the topic guide for any word.

HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN IN THE PROGRAM? Was there a tutorial I missed? Well, clearly I missed it regardless.

As a long time user, I am stunned and amazed, but what a happy discovery! Yet ANOTHER little feature which multiplies the use of the program. THANK YOU!
 
Looks like I added this function in 6.2 (released 2012). Here's a tutorial:



File > Preferences > StudyClick controls what happens with the click:

@Brandon Staggs - It may have been so long ago (relatively speaking) that I simply haven't reviewed the actual settings in a while, since I have simply been using the program. I will have to pay better attention to changes as they come. Very useful! Thanks,
