Trados 2017 SR1 installation on new Win 10 notebook does not have same behaviour of function keys as on ALL other (win 7) PCs and notebooks

Renata von Koerber

My latest installation of Studio 2017 on a new Windows 10 notebook gives me grief. The minor headache is that the icons on the 13.3 screen are tiny, and that I cannot see suggestions from the TM. I believe that I may be able to somehow optimize that., and will probably post separately for that.
What irks me more, and I actually erroneously thought I had a wrong/not updated version of 2017, is that the function keys like F4, F3, F7 work differently in the latest installation. I migrate between several computers, and of course I want my Trados to work the same everywhere, so starting the program keys is really not what I have in mind. ("normal" behaviour -> F4 copies source to target, F7 performs concordance search, enter/return confirms a segment = really nice . New notebook behaviour CTRl enter confirms, F3 concordance search ... etc - therefore I thought it was like pre-2017 behaviour)
Can anyone explain to me a) why on this ONE notebook (only one in Windows 10 so far) things look different, and b) if there is a way to achieve a synchronized behaviour of my installations? It really helps (my idea of) productivity ...

maybe other people's computers the function keys are again different, but I remember reading about the new layout the function keys when 2017 was first introduced.

    Dear ,

    The keyboard shortcuts that you are describing on your new Windows Notebook are actually the default shortcuts for SDL Trados Studio, set up in the 'Default profile'. 

    I think the shortcuts you have used before are those from one of the legacy profiles, either Trados or SDLX. So when you set up Studio on your other computers you must have used the 'Trados' profile rather than the 'Default'.

    You can change this quite easily if you go to File>Setup>Manage user profiles:

    Compare this window on your new Notepad with that on one of your other computers. You will probably see that they are different. You can then decide which version you want to use overall. 

    You will see that you can also export your profile settings from your old computer to import them to your new computer if you'd like.

    All the best,

    Alison
