Use <gui>shortcut keys</gui> to perform common tasks more quickly than with the mouse and menus. The following tables list all of <app>Xiphos's</app> shortcut keys.

Window selection/opening and navbar selection
Action | Keyboard shortcut
Focus and select the main verse navbar text. You can then immediately type in new verse selection text. Be aware that, as is the case with most Sword applications, <app>Xiphos</app> understands many abbreviations: "G" is adequate to specify Genesis, for example, and any book name by itself implies 1:1. | <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>L</key></keyseq>
Bring the Commentary View forward when previously obscured by the Book View. | <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>C</key></keyseq>
Focus on the general book. | <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>G</key></keyseq>
Focus on the dictionary navbar text. | <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>D</key></keyseq>
Open a new tab. | <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>T</key></keyseq>
Make the tab #1 current. | <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>1</key></keyseq>

Opening special windows
Action | Keyboard shortcut
Open this manual. | <keyseq><key>F1</key></keyseq>
Open the <gui>Preferences</gui> dialog. | <keyseq><key>F2</key></keyseq>

Open a bookmark dialog on the current verse. | <keyseq><key>Alt</key><key>B</key></keyseq>
Open the "Find" dialog. The subwindow to which it applies depends on which of them are visible: The Bible is first preference, then the commentary or general book, then the dictionary. So a tab can be dedicated to just a book, and the "Find" will be performed within that pane. | <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>F</key></keyseq>
