Termbase Autosuggest using the source language word

Question

Hello. I may be missing something. I am fairly new to Trados.

I see that to get an autosuggest from a Termbase, I need the first letter(s) of the corresponding word in the Target language. For example, if I have house = casa, I need to type a "c" to get the suggestions, but with an "h" it will not come up.

Now... what if I can not recall the first letter(s) in the target language? In this case, Autosuggest would be useless. I would need to do a termbase search. And... well, I do have the Source word right in front of me.

I am a former WordFast user, and one of the very few things that I like better in WF is that it does work as I described: I may type either Source or Target word first letter(s) and the suggestion from the Glossary will come up.

Is there a way to make it work in Trados? Or, if not, here is a suggestions for new versions.

Thanks!

 Well... you will have the source and target words right in front of you because the results of terms found in your active segment will be in your term recognition pane. So if you can't remember the translation it will be right there in front of you anyway.

Hi Alonso Santamaria , 
 
I guess you can also use Ctrl+Shift+L and this will bring up all the terms in your segment so you can easily select from there.
