Public bug reported:

New wishlist Item: Expand Scripture Selections

This is similar to my "panic mode" request for Songs
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/openlp/+bug/1674387).  When I have a
Scripture item that is Live, I would really like to see a +Verse button
and a Full Chapter button.  The +Verse button would add the next verse
to the current Scripture range (if still in the same chapter), and the
Full Chapter button would show the entire chapter that's currently
selected.  It would be important to keep onscreen the (first) verse
that's already onscreen.

The use case for this: Things don't always go according to plan, and the
video person isn't always given the complete Scripture listing(s) for
the service/sermon.  For example, a guest pastor yesterday told me he
would be speaking on Acts 10:44-48.  The actual sermon was based on Acts
10:42-48, and there were many MANY other passages involved from Matthew,
Luke, John, Romans, etc.  I was looking up passages on-the-fly and
sometimes the entire reference wasn't given ahead of time.  A +Verse
button and a Full Chapter button would have given me much more
flexibility in keeping up with unpredictable Scripture references.
