Customising shortcuts

You can view and customise every shortcut in Settings → Keyboard Shortcuts, and export a printable cheatsheet (HTML) or the raw definitions (JSON) from there.

Note

Some shortcuts match memoQ and Trados conventions (like Ctrl+Enter to confirm) to help translators who switch between tools.

Tips

memoQ-style navigation

The arrow keys work like memoQ:

• Press ↓ at the last line of a cell to move to the next segment
• Press ↑ at the first line of a cell to move to the previous segment
• Cursor column position is preserved when moving between segments

Quick filtering

1. Select text in any segment
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+F to filter
3. Only segments containing that text are shown
4. Press Ctrl+Shift+F again to clear the filter
