Avoiding the Orange Tab with Ctrl+Home

Paul

Hi,

I noted a few users trying to avoid having to use Ctrl+Home and then the down arrow to get into the first segment from anywhere in the document.  Perhaps an AHK script could be used for this?  This one works (but note the improved script from Jesus below which is a lot better!):

 ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Working around the orange tab at the top for Ctrl+Home
; Uses Ctrl+Alt+H
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#IfWinActive SDL Trados Studio
^!H::
Send ^+{Home}
Send {Down}
Return
#IfWinActive 

This uses Ctrl+Alt+H as I could not figure out how to use Ctrl+Home without getting an error.  But perhaps it'll help?

  • Thank you, Paul

    I have this script:

    ; In Studio, move cursor to first untranslated segment in file
    #IfWinActive ahk_exe SDLTradosStudio.exe
    ^q::
    Send {Control Down}{Home}{Control Up}{Down}{Control Down}{Enter}{Control Up}
    Return

    As described, it moves the cursor to the first untranslated segment, but also moves the cursor to the first segment only when all segments have been translated. Particularly useful when proofreading with Antidote as Antidote seems to start proofreading where the cursor is, at least on my machine.

    Once proofreading is done, use the script to bring the cursor to the first proofread/modified segment to start confirming all segments, then use the script again to move it back to the beginning.
