Expanded copy syntax - linked chapters and full chapters

[Oblique82]

Firstly, let me say thankyou for everything you are doing for this community!

I would really like to suggest expansions to the already great workflow. Both of these relate to the 'copy verses' command

I would like to be able to extend the block of text copied from an arbitrary verse to the end of the chapter, or simply copy a full chapter if possible. I would also like to quote blocks of text across. multiple chapters if possible please.

eg If I want to quote Genesis 1 verse 3 to (end of chapter) eg I could write "Genesis 1:3-end"

for a full chapter maybe Genesis 1:full

...where "end" and "full" (or something similar) become trigger words for this process

I would also like to be able to quote a block across multiple chapters eg Genesis 1-2:7 (all of genesis 1 until genesis 2:7)

Hi, I'm glad you like this plugin. I understand that the features you are proposing could be useful, but for now it is a bit too much work for just a little improvement. Hovewer it would be possible to implement, so maybe in the future - right now I'm slowly starting to work on the multiple translation support.

You can now use a big number instead of the propsed "end" to copy to the end of the chapter (for example "Gen 1,3-999" will act like "Gen 1,3-31"), this can also be used to copy the entire chapter ("Gen 1,1-999").

Linking/Copying across multiple chapters is still not available and maybe never will be (it would require a big change to the code and take a lot of time). I may get to it in the future, but it will not be any time soon.
