Allow copy and paste of tags in Online Editor from source to target segment

So far, it is not possible to copy and paste text with tags from source to target segments in Online Editor as it is possible in Trados Studio. It would improve a translators work a lot if that feature would be available. So far it is only possible to copy the full content of the source to the target. But a lot of times the translators just need parts from a segment including the tags. And the easiest way is to copy and paste from the source and replace the text rather than writing the text and then tag the text.

  • I understand that the Smart Actions functionality exists and there are certain pros to doing it that way but we have seen feedback from our users where it does not seem to load correctly sometimes and overall it's still a lot of clicking when some find copy/paste easier. From my own experience, I would say that the keyboard layout also plays a small role in how efficient this is to do as well. Pressing CTRL+C and CTRL+V with my left hand and clicking with my right hand is much easier and natural to me than moving my left hand across the keyboard to press CTRL+, and clicking with my right.

    Ideally, it would be nice if we could have both options available like in Trados Studio. I'm curious to know if this is on a development roadmap as this seems to be a popular upvoted community idea!
