    To my knowledge, Studio is one of the last applications not to allow more flexible ways of selecting text. As things stand, you can double-click a word to select it, but the only (mouse-based) way of selecting more than one word is to single-click and...

    One thing in Studio I use regularly to communicate with my reviewers are the comments. However, in the current version, they are rather basic. What I wish for them is the possibility to format text in them. Think MS Word, especially the later versions...

    It would be a nice feature if errors encountered whilst using the software could have the relevant information captured from the error stack and then a search automatically applied to the knowledgebase and the help and then provide helpful links to relevant...

    Several CAT tools have this very useful feature: with one keystroke or button I can copy ONLY the tags in the source column to the target column. This allows me to then translate my content around the tags. Presently, with QuickTag Insert, I can only...

    Studio 2015 (and now 2017) introduced automatic smart quotes as an option. I.e., You type the straight single or double quotes from the keyboard, and Studio automatically replaces them with curly quotes. So far, so good, but a lthough a translator may...

    Instead of the links to educational materials, which are only useful at the very beginning, the Welcome View could show the daily output from last 7 days, monthly output etc. Similar to running apps, with some simple achievements ("You have translated...

    The current one by one duplicate removal function is very cumbersome. And using the third-party editor Heartsome is also not ideal. I would like to see a batch delete of duplicates based on usual filters plus a limited number of special criteria, e.g...

    Hello, Would it be possible to know the number of duplicates when we filter by duplicates? I guess this is the same saying: can we know the number of pages of the TM Editor? I think an idea about this was already created... do you know if this...
