Keyboard shortcut to merge current segment with next segment, WITHOUT USING MOUSE?

Michael Beijer

Is there a proper keyboard shortcut to merge the current segment with the next segment? That is, without having to resort to my mouse?

I found Ctrl+Alt+S, but this means I need to first select them both, with my mouse. What's the point off a keyboard shortcut if you need to use your mouse? There must be an easier way to do this. Most other CAT tools can do it by now with one simple shortcut, without having to touch your mouse.

 

If not (which would be idiotic, but anyway), does anyone have an AutoHotkey script for it yet?

    So you've found out the merge command, but failed to find out how to select segments with keyboard? And instead of looking for this very simple shortcut (I think it was CTRL+SHIFT+ARROW DOWN, but I dont remember - look in Keyboard shortcuts for "Select next row"). When you learn this shortcut, just select as many segments as needed (remember the hint about possibly locked segments in the background) and press the shortcut for merging them. No need for any AHK scripts, it works just out of the box in Studio.
