copy content of source segment to clipboard with one shortcut (credit for this goes to Epameinondas Soufleros)

Hi,

Who does not know the problem. The source segment contains an error you want to tell the client about or you need source string for some form you need to fill in for the client e.g. for a QA.

Now you would need to activate source segment, make it editable, copy content and switch back to target segment afterwards. Either using your mouse... quite some clicking or using existing shortcuts which still makes around 4 to 5 shortcuts to be hit, that's not efficient working. ;)

Would it be possible to add a shortcut (and a symbol in ribbon list) in Editor view with the ability to have all these steps done for the segment you are working on right now.

As the shortcut can be customized through options, I guess the key combination used does not matter. The important thing would be the result:

When using that shortcut Trados automatically copies the content of the source segment to clipboard so that you can use it on any form or email you need to send to your client.

This is not a shortcut for editing source segment but to copy its content.

regards,

Pascal

  • Hi Paul,

    interesting hint with TQA but for myself I have to admit, I mainly need it for pointing out errors in source segment or simply to ask for some help from end client about some unclear words or abbreviations in source segment. So copying to clipboard directly is quite helpful.

    Most (L)QAs I get are in other tools or Excel directly, so copying is easier. ;)
