We know there is an app for this but not all environments permit its use. Native support would be very welcome.

Although complex processing sequences can be written with AHK, its use is not easy for novices. A macro recording capability (possibly generate an AHK sequence) in Trados, such as that provided with MS Word, would solve this problem.

This I believe to be requisite in the dawning era of machine translation. Not going to get into specific scenarios of the potential applicability of the feature. I guess anyone working in the field and using MT will understand.
