Idea Delivered Partially

Adding shortcuts for “No Bold”, “No Italic” and “No Underline”

When the original segment is entirely in italics, bold or other formatting, the only way I know to remove that formatting is to click in the bottom right corner of the QuickInsert sub-tab, as shown below. Since the extra clicks can become very time-consuming in some cases, it would be very useful to have shortcuts (icons or keyboard) for performing the exact same function.

Also, it is so well hidden that I first thought it was impossible to remove the formatting in such cases, which also tends to demonstrate that adding shortcuts for that would be a great idea.

  • , I already knew about the Ctrl+Space (Clear All Formatting) shortcut, but neither this one nor the Ctrl+Alt+Space (Clear Formatting) shortcut work when the whole segment has a specific formatting (which, sometimes, is not even the case in the original document, where only part of the segment is formatted as such).

    In such cases, I definitely need to use “No Bold”, “No Italic” or “No Underline” to correct the formatting.

    For instance, if the whole segment is in italic and I have to “un-italicize” a specific word (I could explain the typographic reason for that I you want, but that is not the point here), the only way I could do that is by using “No Italic”, which require me to use the mouse, while it would be much more effective to have a keyboard shortcut as an option. 

    RWS would not even need to set specific shortcut combinations for these functions: just providing the option to make our own shortcuts for any QuickInsert menu entry... or any Trados option whatsoever, actually. That would be great.
