Command Line Navigator





You can quickly get to any verse by typing the verse reference directly into the Command Line Navigator input box. Just type your reference in the edit field and press Enter.
While you are typing a reference, the "LED" indicator to the left of the edit field will change colour showing you when the program recognizes your input. It will be color coded as follows as you type:

BLACK - the name of the book cannot be recognized or the reference is out of range.
ORANGE - the name fits more than one book and you need to enter more information, e.g., E = Choice of 6 books therefore color is orange, Ez = choice of two books therefore colour is still orange, Ezr = Ezra therefore green and will select chapter 1, verse 1.
GREEN - the name of the book and reference are successfully recognized and you can press Enter.

It is not necessary to keep a strict syntax for references. For example, you can type:

gen 2:4 for Genesis 2:4
3j1 3 for 3 John 1:3
2p 3 for 2 Peter 3:1
2co for 2 Corinthians 1:1 (2c is not sufficient)

The edit field keeps a history of the strings typed – it is easy to repeat or jump to a previously selected reference.

Information for advanced users:


  • There must be a space between the chapter and the verse in the typed text. The program recognizes separation by:
    ' ' - space
    ':' - colon
    ';' - semicolon
    ',' - comma
    '.' - dot
    '-' - dash
  • Recognized names for each book are stored in the language file (e.g. english.lng) in strings 10201-10266. For example, the book of Philippians has this string:

    10250,NTPhili,Philippians,Phi,Philippians,Php,Phl

    NTPhili – is the synchronization name for the book of Philippians. DO NOT CHANGE!
    Philippians - Name of the book (displayed before verse).
    Phi - abbreviation of the book (displayed before verse).
    Philippians,Php,Phl – max. of 8 strings, comma delimited. Each string has a maximum of 15 characters. These strings are compared with the typed text and conflicts with other book names are evaluated. If you prefer other abbreviations for the books or you wish to add others, then, the LNG file can be edited to suit your needs.
