Update: I just now upgraded E-Sword to version 11.1.0 - had not noticed there was a new version out. Previously I had version 11.0.6 installed.

With the upgrade, the keyboard shortcut discussed above works again. I ended up removing me workaround :-)

I found a workaround that works great for me and my PC.

1. Download and install autohotkey.com

It is a small program that runs in the background and enables you to create scripts that you activate via keyboard shortcuts of your choice.

2. In my case, autohotkey created a .ahk file under "My documents" that I could edit to add new scripts. If it does not, refer to the get started tutorial for autohotkey.

In the script file (.ahk file) - add the following script:

^l::

This script captures the ctrl + L  shortcut (^l is a shortcut for that), moves the cursor to the top left (over the E-sword textbox) and clicks the mouse - just like the original E-sword shortcut did. This assumes that you have E-sword window maximized on your screen.

Unless you have instructed AutoHotKey to run with windows start, you may need to launch it for the script to work. Once AutoHotKey is running, it has an icon in the system tray.

I have the same experience. Have used this hotkey alot - but seems with a new update on windows 10, it stopped working except in the cases you describe. Other hotkeys, like next chapter, seem to work consistently. Looks like this is something Rick, the author of E-sword, has to address.
