Entering a Bible verse in the Search Bar
Every other Bible program (Logos, Bible Works, Olive Tree) or website (Blue Letter Bible) allows one to type in a verse with a blank between chapter and verse, for example:
Psalm 31 5
Accordance requires a colon or period between chapter and verse, and if you leave a blank Accordance gives a warning message and asks you if you really meant to put in a colon. Then I have to click yes, and the entered string is updated with a colon and final the verse displays. Since there is nothing else that I could possibly want to indicate other than chapter and verse, this seems unnecessary and needless extra work. I cannot count the times I have typed the chapter and verse with a space in between and then remembered and then hit back spaces so I could type the period and then retype the verse.
A Bible verse should be able to be entered with spaces only between the elements.

I agree, and I would add, that if I add just a number, like 31 5, without any book name, then Accordance will know that I am referring to the Book I am currently in. I came from Bibleworks, and that was an often used shortcut.

I agree. The tool can easily keep track of the latest book referenced and assume the same book is intended if no book is specified.
