  • Thanks Nora, that’s a very promising script!

    I got it to work on my computer, but perhaps you could help me take it a step further? I can’t figure out how to navigate the Project Settings screens.

    I would like to auomate adding whatever is on my clipboard to a custom field in the TM, as shown below.

    Any idea how I can get to that screen and that field with AHK?


    Trados Studio Project Settings screen showing Field Values section with two fields: 'Numero de demande' and 'Remarques'. The 'Value' column for 'Numero de demande' contains placeholder text 'Copy project name here'.

    EDIT : I got a bit further but now I’m stuck. I can’t figure out how to open the first value field with the keyboard to copy in it. Here’s what I have (hotkey and project settings shortcuts are different than in your example)

    ^+t::
    Send ^+p
    Sleep 999
    Send Proj
    Sleep 999
    Send Lang
    Sleep 999
    Send All
    Sleep 999
    Send TR
    Sleep 999
    Send U
    Sleep 999

    Send ?? Need to code tab tab here??

    ??and here I can’t figure out how to open the first value field with the keyboard!??


    return


    EDIT 2

    Well, I figured it out! Thanks for the starting point Nora, I’m super happy with this script!



    ^+t::
    Send ^+p
    Sleep 999
    Send Proj
    Sleep 999

  • Very nice, Audrey! I'll give your script a try. The wait times seem a bit long, but if that's what it takes for everything to work, then that's what it takes. : )
