Hi, I will try to just present you with my own approach, don't know whether it would help:
when you open Eloquent, you will see that there is an empty workspace. this window is just for holding other sessions depending with what type of book you would be reading. assuming that you have just installed the app and do not have any module so far, press Command-Shift-M to open the Module Manager. you will see a table of the sources where modules are fetched from. from this part of the world, I have seen that navigating to the Crosswire source will do: other sources do not work well with me, but you may have a better experience there. so you choose the source you want to fetch content. each source has biblical texts, commentaries, lexicon/dictionaries and generic books. so you expand the appropriate category. then once you've selected the category from the sources table, you can navigate with VO-Right arrow to where the texts are listed. (Well, the layout seems to be like the tables in programs like iTunes, so you use the best method: however, this is how I do it all the time. I first choose a table row while interacting with the table. after that, I then stop interacting with the table when I get to the row I want: I then press VO-Right arrow to go to its contents. so any reference to this navigation must be understood in light of how you interact with tables.) select the texts you want and highlight on "Install" to fetch the module afterwards. after this process, you can optionally go back to the sources table and choose another category. repeat the steps to select individual texts under the category. when you're through, go to the Toolbar and interact with it. select "Apply tasks" to start the module downloads. well, if you're through, close the module manager with Command-W. you will now be back in the empty workspace. now depending which with what type of book you want to read: to start a Bible session, press Command-shift-n. you will see that a table with the versions you installed will appear: select the one you want. next you will see a table of the books of the bible. choose the book you want and then Vo-Right arrow to a window with the appropriate chapter. to go to the next book, press command-down arrow. to go to the next chapter in the same book, press command-right arrow. etc. to quickly look up a chapter or book, press command-L and type the reference. to start a commentary session, press command-shift-c. to open a dictionary session, press command-shift-d and to open the generic books session, press command-shift-g. i trust as a beginning, this might be of some help. cheers, Ishe On 17 Jun,2011, at 4:57 PM, Kliph&Sharrie wrote: > Well before you do that podcast, could you post a few navigation tips here? > I've opened up the program, and went to the menu options like I usually do to > find the key strokes that I need, but found nothing.
