TermPicker

TermPicker is a compact overlay that shows all matched terms for the current segment in a sortable, keyboard-navigable list. It is useful when TermLens shows many matches and you want a quick overview without scrolling.

Opening TermPicker

Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open TermPicker. It appears as a floating window above the editor.

Colour-coded rows

Each row in TermPicker is colour-coded by termbase type:

Colour	Meaning
Pink	Project termbase term
Blue	Regular Supervertaler termbase term
Yellow	Non-translatable term
Green	MultiTerm termbase term (`.sdltb`)

This lets you instantly see where each term comes from and how it should be handled.

Expandable synonyms

Terms with multiple translations display a right-arrow indicator (▸) next to the term. To expand and see all synonym sub-rows:

Select the row and press the Right arrow key
The sub-rows appear below the parent term, showing each available translation

Press Left arrow to collapse the synonyms again.

TermPicker is designed for fast keyboard use:

Key	Action
0-9	Type a number to jump directly to that term
Enter	Insert the selected term and close the picker
Escape	Close the picker without inserting
Up / Down	Navigate between terms (wraps around)
Right	Expand synonyms for the selected term
Left	Collapse synonyms

Navigation wraps around: pressing Down on the last term jumps to the first, and Up on the first jumps to the last.

Inserting a term

You can insert a term in two ways:

Click any row to insert that term at the cursor position in the target field
Press Enter on the selected row to insert and close

The selected translation is placed at the current cursor position in the target segment.

Like the TermLens chips, the picker displays and inserts terms with the capitalisation of the segment occurrence (first occurrence when a term appears more than once) rather than the stored capitalisation – see Adapt term capitalisation.
