Perhaps it would be cool to personalize the upper Toolbar with Settings, Search, bookmarks etc: Then you could choose fe. not to see the settings-symbol and reach it with the "..." three-point-Symbol on the right but to show the "detectscripture"-Symbol instead of the search-symbol (which would be cool for those who use splitscreenmode and detection often...). Also this would perhaps be a possibility to "create" a new optionally button to show the picker also in mini-split-screen mode instead. But this suggestion is not very thoughtful, just an idea.
Just a comment - you can use the "double-tap" gesture to show the Picker in the mini-split-screen mode. You just have to make sure it is turned on first. It is off by default on the iPad. Go to Admin (top/left) > Settings > Bible Settings > "Show Picker on Double Tap". You might need to lookup a scripture to force the main Bible screen contents to refresh, but then after that you can double-tap in the main Bible window to show the Picker. Especially handy in the smallest Split Screen mode where the Picker is hidden on the toolbar. I will have a think about the ability to customise the top toolbar. It sounds like a nice idea, just not sure where it sits in the list of priorities. Stepping back a bit - what is the function you are most trying to get onto the top toolbar that is not there already?
Especially the Detect scripture manually button and a trigger. I know double clicking does it, too. But a button would be nicer Priority low...
I really love to use jw library on the left and equipd bible on the right. I often open scripture links with longtap on it in jw library / copy and then open it withe the dect scripture button in equipd bible. Unfortunately i have to click on the three dots and then i can open it. This is just a little bit annoying if opening a lot of scripures like that. Ä I understand that customizing the upper tool bar isnt that easy, so i have another idea to make this procedure faster and easier: a gesture to manually detect scripture links in ghe clipboard. For example a triple tab (tap withe three fingers at once) and magically the scripture in the clipboard opens. That would be really great - and i think not that complicate to implement).
What split screen sizes do you typically use in this mode? Half and half? Or the smaller width for the right?
I am thinking about it. But there is no native "triple-tap" on many of the ui elements. Leave it with me a bit longer.
I have implemented a solution that should help @Baerwurzl - see here. Does that satisfy the main requirement of this thread?
